Frame ID from FB Peugeot group
Interesting frame? Not mine, but still almost immobile with my ribs. This is how I'm amusing myself...

One of the late 70s PX10 variants? It looks like my 1979 PXN-10LE frame did once stripped, even down to the seat stay caps and rear derailleur cable guide.

I've looked at all the pics I can find and not seen dished caps on any PX10 yet! Serial dosen't look very Peugeot either

Looks to be possibly a Peugeot. Not used to seeing a fancy looking rear brake bridge like that on Peugeots though, same goes for the slots on the BB bottom. But it could be a very high end one, maybe even made in the special shop they had that made PY10's for their factory racing teams?

I am not a Peugeot expert by any means, but this doesn't look like any Peugeot I have ever come across. The squared-off seat tube, the scalloped seat stays, the serial number, it all seems alien to what Peugeot did.
The latter is intriguing: are those inverted "C"s? That would indicate a certain significance of the numbers, but I am not seeing the logic. YFM 85 31 84? 1985? And no under the BB cable routing?
I do like the frame. Without the Peugeot reference I'd have guessed it was from a smaller Asian manufacturer.

If the BB turns out to be French, would Mercier still be in the running?

I'd agree with Asian given the presence of the Eisho Seisakusho lugs. The serial number format may represent March 1985. but I don't recognize the YFM prefix. Strange mix of features; cutout shell, thinned lugs and an investment cast brake bridge bridge but a flat top seat lug and domed stay ends with minimal finishing. Any word on the post size?
