Peugeot introduced this model with 'open diamond' frame 'Le Lion model B' in 1890. In 1893 it has disappeared from the catalogue.
We know this Peugeot also in a version with a ball head. Looking at frame numbers, I think in 1891 both versions were built, but I do not have the 1891 catalogue.
This you see here is shown in the Batavus Museum in Heerenveen, Netherlands. It was repainted and renickled at some time, which is a shame, since a lot of details get lost when polishing a rusty bike.
But the bike is still there! And it shows a lot of early Peugeot details, like the original hubs, bracket, fenders, a very nice saddle. I just dislike the carbide lamp. It wasn't even invented in 1890 yet!
