A dark Peugeot covered in white paint-splatter graphics, drop bars and tan-wall tyres, on a gravel drive with autumn shrubs behind.

The story

Black with white splatter, which was as close to restraint as Peugeot got in 1992. The graphics are original and have held up better than most of the parts had.

A quiet build, deliberately. When the frame is doing that much talking, the components should not join in.
