That is indeed the correct crank for a cotterless upgrade to a Peugeot. I am happy with the Sugino I put on my UO-8, but your crank is prettier. I can't believe how well your UO-18 cleaned up -- my UO-8 is really showing its age now.

In the early 1970s when I worked at a Peugeot dealership, it seemed that every female customer wanted a white UO-18. When I told the boss I wanted to get a new bike for my wife, his initial reaction was, "I can't get my hands on enough UO-18s, particularly 22-inch ones!" He was relieved when I told him I wanted to buy her a bare UO-8 frame to custom build.
