Thanks for the kind words lads. It's all very humbling.
In answer to a few questions, I don't really have much of a garden but the location is at the bottom of my street in Hove.
Originally I'm a bit of a country boy (about as far away from a coast as you could get) but now I miss the seafront whenever I go back home :D
Plus it's about as close to France as I could get this afternoon ;D
I spent most of the afternoon burning up and down the front on it with a stupid big grin on my face and it's a really smooth ride.
I'll stick a layback on it a change the seat for daily use as I think it'll be coming to work with me. It's Ok I've asked the misses ::)
I hunted for ages for a black Laprade, I was originally going to use in on my Rhino III but had a change of plan.
Somehow I've now managed to get hold of a Red, Blue & Gold as well. I think that might be a complete set ???
Sorry but none are for sale at this point ;)
Thanks again for the comments. I'm really, really pleased with it (even though the misses didn't like the red post).
Plus now I can get back to the Rhino build ::) ;D

Thanks fellas. man, it feels good to be back on a BMX again.

Bit of a grey day and a bit of rain to add to the fun.

love the look of it and the location sets it off 8)
so tell me what is different to normal pugs ? it's a tange frame so must be top of the line !
I have a couple of pugs to do up - think one is CPX301 and the other is a CPX601
CPX601

matched up from museum - (unless any one can find me different ) :?!:
cheers B :wink:

looks mint mate, top build, nice1 :daumenhoch:

I've been totally bowled over by the response this little build has got.
Thanks again for all the kind words, it really does mean a lot :)
B, from my understanding, this is essentially a Tange model (Tange tubes and Tange defined geometry). It's difficult to know for sure if it was Peugeot made (from Tange tube kits) or Tange made in Japan but similar frames were made available to other manufactures like the Hattori Pro Sight, made for the Australian market. However, this CPX seems unique in it having a Euro BB and Tange Mangaloy Tubes. I think all the other Peugeot models would have been made in France by Peugeot using tubes from elsewhere. The French lads on here will probably be better placed to provide more info on this.
The 500 was the top of the line CPX model (excluding the Reynolds Peugoet Team which I think was built in the same way as the Reynolds Team Burners) but strangely this one doesn't feature in any catalogues that I've come across. The 83 Peugeot Catalogue has the CPX-500 with the Lion logo gusset but I'm not sure if that had Tange tubes. The test bike featured in Bicross May 82 had the same boomerang gusset as mine and that's the only other one I've seen.

Nice pics aswell :daumenhoch:
Thanks for all your help with the info you dug out for me Arnaud.
If there's ever anything I can do to help you on this side of the Channel jlmk mate :daumenhoch:
