Stolen Peugeot Premiere

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

Teal Peugeot Premiere from around the early ’80s, 12 speed, shifters on the stem (not the down tube as per normal), white perforated Selle Italia saddle (w/ gold accents on the front and back)(also, the seat has some blue coloring around the front from my jeans), white handlebar tape with black electrical tape in parts, R.E.Load frame pad on the top tube (grey with light blue trim on one side, maroon on the other), silver SKS fenders, Alex RP15F rim on the back (silver) and Alex AT450 rim on the front (silver) (these are educated guesses), Michelin Carbon tires with yellow sidewall, flat metal pedals. I’m 6’2”, and had the seat hiked up real high and the handlebars down to the lowest they can go. I also never shifted gears to speak of, so only the smallest cog on the cassette is greased up, the rest are clean.

The company currently offers this service at their Seattle location and they’re hoping to have an even larger presence in Portland. Several Ace employees have already been outfitted with jorg&olif bikes and they’re excited for the partnership.

For six years he has raced all over the country and at the local Alpenrose Dairy Velodrome, but Brown says that facility won’t last much longer and that now is the time to start planning for a new one.
