Steel road frame with old school geometry

That's right. The geometry for this one came from an early '70's Peugeot PA-10. This was not an expensive model but it had a great ride quality so I don't blame the customer for having me use the frame for a template. His goal is to have a bike that steers like his old bike but has modern components. He will have a rim brake setup with Dura Ace 12 speed Di II. Quite an unusual setup but this is no ordinary build. 
The customer will bring his old PA-10 and we will do an A-B test ride when his new bike is all together. I really hope that he likes it. I have only built a couple other frames with this geometry but I do like the ride.
