 +===== Cycles Peugeot ===== 
 + 
 +Cycles Peugeot started in 1882 in Sochaux, France and famously started making its classic French automobiles later in 1890.  Armand Peugeot personally hand made   Peugeot's first [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny-farthing|penny farthing]] bicycles(([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_bicycle|Safety bicycles]] didn't appear until 1885.)).  Peugeot was late in producing mountain bikes, despite being a large supplier of cruisers and bmx bikes in the 1970s & 1980s, not producing a true mountain bike until 1984. 
 +\\ 
 + 
 +Peugeot is currently a subsidiary of the Swedish firm Grimaldi Industri, along with Bianchi, Gitane, Puch and many others.  See [[https://cycles.peugeot.com/|link]].

 + 
 +===== 1982 Pipeline 5 ===== 
 + 
 +This transitional klunker cruiser was often marketed as a mountain bike and thus gets Peugeot placed in the timeline starting in 1982, despite 40+ manufacturers becoming aware before Peugeot of the inevitability of mountain bikes taking over the world.  At least they finally got it in 1984 - and Cycles Peugeot only survived in the Peugeot family for another three years until 1987 (([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycles_Peugeot|wikipedia]])) 
 +\\ 
 + 
 +This is followed by no geared fat tires bikes at all in 1983.  The 1983 Peugeot Pipeline 5 become a Pipeline 1, and dropped its two derailleurs (while gaining a lighter diamond frame,) and does not deserve a timeline entry/picture.
