Peugeot Nouveau Folding Shopper Bike

Another bike from the bike sale on the green today. This one's a little 20 inch wheeled folding shopper bike from Peugeot... the Nouveau!

One of the nicest old Peugeot logos I've seen for a while.

Some 'Nouveau' touches!

Old Peugeot bike lettering.

And a neat little lamp.

A sensible vintage Peugeot folder!

Peugeot Raider, classic day-glo mountain bike

This is the first vintage Peugeot mountain bike I've come across though, which makes a change from the usual Peugeot classic town or road bike.

A great old Peugeot bike logo on the head tube.

This one is the Peugeot Raider.

Again being built with the Peugeot direct brazing system, that I have seen before!

Neat neat neat. I feel like some of the day-glo-ness of the colour might have been lost with time, but you can feel it's something a bit bold!

Carbolite Peugeot Classic Racer

Peugeot Carbolite frames have been shown here before on The Bicycle Safari, such as this awesome yellow one littering the streets of Nottingham. Old Peugeot bikes just seem to have a great big dollop of style and class about them, so their pretty reliable Safari bike hunting targets.

Again today we find some Carbolite.

With the addition of this quite cool dealer sticker from 'Priory'? shop in Birmingham.

Peugeot vintage bicycle logos and graphics at their best.


Good old Peugeot bikes being all awesome and stuff.

Awesome Vintage Peugeot Racer Bicycle

Peugeot are usually the least disappointing bicycle for me to spot when I'm out thinking, hmm probably should find something rad for the Bicycle Safari. You see some brightly coloured graphic heavy racer, like this unbelievably pink Peugeot I saw a while back, and all it's logos, lettering and stripes are great. Here's another example to add to the Safari archives. Another headtube to be mounted on the wall.


Peuegots of this era just have so much class about their design.


They're often built of vague and interesting materials, such as Carbolite 103 in this case!


They seem to remain strangely clean, I'm not sure what that means about the owners, but it's not often that I see a dirty one.


They're suitably proud of being a Peugeot...


..stripes and all!


And they generally outclass anything else left in the bike rack. In this case watch how easily this Peuegot outshines my hateful Raleigh mixte beater in the background! Have a click on the Peugeot section on the left to see the whole Bicycle Safari hunting collection of classic Peugeot bikes.

Peugeot Mirage in Barcelona

More from Barcelona! Here's a good old vintage Peugeot for you to sink your teeth into! The Peugeot Mirage.
Looks like it's been subtly modified by the owner, with a few stickers here and there.
Like these!
But the great old vintage bike logos are still there shining brightly in the Spanish sun. Also note the strangely square back tyre, very odd. A good old Peugeot bicycle anyway though.

Premierelle Line Peugeot Logos

Peugeot bicycles are always popular here on The Bicycle Safari. Usually because they have some super nice feature like this unbelievably pink Peugeot from a few weeks back, or this light green Peugeot with a tiny little front rack that I spotted in Sweden one time.
Back in Nottingham, this black Peugeot popped up at one of my usual haunts.

It's the Premierelle! Erm, which is nice! Well at least they wrote it in a nice way.

Actually they also made it in a nice way, with their new 'Peugeot Direct Brazing System'! Which as you can see, does actually make for some nice tube joins. I guess this is Peugeot making a bold step away from the world of lugged bicycle frames.

And stepping closer to some funky 1980's graphics.


A Peugeot Premierelle. Have a click here to see the rest of the Peugeot bikes that have been collected here on The Bicycle Safari.

Perhaps the pinkest Peugeot pushbike pictured

Unbelievably pink! This catches your eye from a good 100 meters away.



An unfortunately blurry overall picture as I didn't really want to stand in the rain photographing a bicycle carefully.

Beautiful Peugeot bicycles of the world

What better way to start The Bicycle Safari's stay in London than with the distant relative of a bike we saw back in Lund! The wonderfully green twin sitting on the streets of Sweden sported a fun little front rack and even stylish brakes, but this London version is a lot more straight forward.
I think the stuck on lug patterns are super kitsch, but they do add the bike. Especially with such a nice Peugeot badge up front.



The Peugeot lettering is doing better than the poor fender which seems to have suffered a fold!

'Record du Monde' , a world record... in, something?

A nice touch on this English cousin is the use of the classic Sturmey Archer three speed hub and shifter. These are everywhere in Britain, and makes the Peugeot a little more Anglified.

Living on the mean streets of London.

Two Bell Special

Two nice looking bike bells I've got left over from other bikes I've posted before.

A lion from a Peugeot.
A crown from the Brilliant bicycle.
Not forgetting the brightly coloured tri colour one I saw a while back.

By Peugeot, without luggage.


I forgot to post the main reason that I'd stopped to look at the old Peugeot bicycle in the first place. The diminutive front rack! I've spotted a similar one before, but this seems even more ridiculous. Even so, I would happily use it to carry any conveniently small and square objects I ever need to move.
