Peugeot
was
the "Schwinn of France" for many years. The availability of Peugeot in the USA varied over the years, from being virtually unobtainable in the first portion of the
century, to a huge influx during the 1970's USA bike boom. Then in the late 80's, Peugeot
ceased shipments to the USA and sold the rights to the name for use in North America to ProCycle in Canada (Also known as CCM.)
In Europe, the bicycles are now produced by Cycleurope SA, 120 avenue Charles De Gaulle, 92200 Neuilly sur Seine Tél. 01 41 43 24 75, although it is reported that the brand will be phased out and only used on automobiles in the future. |
