Interesting news for the Peugeot fans among us: A very beautiful book appeared a few weeks ago that is completely dedicated to the history of Peugeot bicycles and the Peugeot professional cycling team: "Peugeot et le cyclisme" by Lucien Hilger of Luxemburg.
I bought a copy at the Peugeot museum in Sochaux and I was amazed by the overall quality of the book. There are numerous pictures of the bicycle production during the last century, catalogues and promotion material and photos of Peugeot team members riding virtually every P 10, PX 10 or PY 10 model that ever existed. There is a special chapter that lists the composition of all the Peugeot cycling teams year by year since 1904, including pictures of the different jerseys. Really great are the studio photos of the bikes from the museum collection. Despite the fact that it exists only as a French version, I would recommend this book to every Peugeot enthusiast. Even compared to other bicycle brand-dedicated books, it is rare to see a high-quality production like this one.
