"Left in roof by previous owner", come on would it have killed them to take the bikes OUT of the roof to take photos!?

Peugeot Aubisque, apparently it was "over $1000" new in 89, can anyone confirm yay or nay?

$1071 sounds a lot for this bike but perhaps the dollar was low in 93.

I agree, but it is an easy (and 100% reversible) way to lose 500g while also allowing you to go threadless[1]. There are some pretty nice CF forks available for steel frames, eg: Columbus Minimal.
[1]... not that I think threadless headsets belong on vintage steel, mind you.They're quite ugly and tend to ruin the aesthetics... but in terms of pure practicality, I can understand why someone would want to switch.

If 2kgs makes a huge difference, then there must be something seriously wrong with you.
It will make a difference but "huge"?
You might be a bit slower, the hills a bit tougher, but 2 kgs shouldn't affect the comfort or enjoyment.

I didn't even know about Singular until I saw this, what a beautiful bike. Asking too much IMO, the build spec is not particularly nice and pre dates the frame. Still, somebody might be willing to snap it up for that, I know Scott was looking for something similar.
