Any Info on this peugeot

[woodbutcher]

My LBS here in France told me how he checks the integrity of bonded frames whatever material used in their construction. He holds onto the head tube with one hand and the top of the seat tube with the other and then with one foot planted on the bottom bracket he gives it some firm but gentle pressure.
If it flexes like mad he rejects it and if is fairly firm and offers some resistance, its a keeper !!
As you can see l am totally unbiased on the subject And l have just bought a stunning Vitus 992 . So in my unbiassed opinion you should grab it and have some fun. By the way l am 63 Kg so not far off your fighting weight !!

Yes it is Carbon and just another version of a bonded frame....l wasn't referring to this bike when l wrote "a stunning Vitus 992" the 992 is of course aluminium but l can't show you a photo yet because it is still on its way here .
