The necked seat tube with cinch collar and head lug style are consistent with the 1980 mixte frames but I would have expected French threading. 25.0mm seat posts were also used on some Peugeot.
Once again the database master comes thru and it’s greatly appreciated. I’m surprised, but happy that it’s actually a Peugoet. The weight threw me off. It actually has an English threaded BB. Can these be re-threaded​​​​​​? The fork appears to be a replacement. It’s labeled; 700C DS with a 2014 date code. As luck would have it, I have a Stronglight 49 crankset, sans NDS arm, that is stamped Peugoet.

T-Mar, Thanks again. Your database and recall are amazing!

Cheers,

Van
