The real risk is starting a war about whether Peugeot gas pipe like the stuff UO8's or Carlobite 103 frames were made of could possibly be the frame material of choice over 531, SL, SP etc on the gas well access roads.

Does its home field advantage out mojo the stuff the Masi's are made of?

Secondly, since they are French will they be rejected by the more conservative gas wells in rural PA as foreign.
