This Peugeot CPX300 was our dream in 1979, we couldn't afford the 300 so we started on a CPX100. Tiny van Brug worked at the local bikeshop and got a CPX300 frame and this is actually his frame, later owned by Frans Swinkels. CPX300 Frames were made of Butted Chrome Molybdenum as the catalog says and were very light right out of the box.
