Dreamt I was riding my first road bike down gravel roads last night and it worked better than expected. Bought in the early 80's when I was in the Air Force, this was my first real bike not from a hardware store. Dug it out of the garage this morning to check everything, maybe an easy ride if it warms up. Front tire inflated easily (Presta), but had to reconfigure pump for back valve, which inflated and immediately emptied. Not only is it a Schrader but it doesn't have an inner core. Yeah, it's been a while.

Stole Schrader core from wife's ebike and took this for a quick spin in 37°F cold rain. Bike felt pretty good overall, really gotta squeeze to get even a little bit of braking. Shifting was smooth, at least rear derailleur.

@jerzone Sweet! I remember lots of friends riding Peugeots back in the day.

@mack505 It seemed magical at the time, none of the bikes I'd owned before were so smooth and well built.

@jerzone Back in the same days I owned a Univega for a year, crashed & totaled it, then rode a Bianchi through college. Good bikes from a simpler time.
