Identify this Peugeot? (Early 80s I think!)



Hi all,

got looking at this Peugeot, it’s in pretty rough condition, and I’m not sure how worth it this one can be! I think it’s 1980s but not sure if it’s a PX10 or what it is...

I am not sure what model it is but I believe you can eliminate PX10 or PY10. Looks like stamped drop outs, dork disc on rear wheel, and safety (or suicide) brake levers, chain ring guard, and a few other things that you wouldn't find on those bikes.

We need some side view and detail pictures, show drive side facing out, and shots of the bottom bracket from below, any serial numbers, and the components as well. Welcome to the C&V Forum, best wishes on getting the mfg year and other information, we have several knowledgeable Peugeot folks here.

Most likely a lower model Carbolite 103 framed Peugeot from the very early 80's.
Excellent rider, for sure, because of Peugeot's very effective frame geometry, albeit a tad heavy.
Plus the Carbolite 103 tubing was very good, when it came to high tensile carbon steel tubing.
It will never make for a good race bike, but it can surely take you on great rides for many miles and many years!

Page through the bike boom Peugeot site and find the decal and head badge match I think you are correct about the 80s as a place to start

My guess would be a Peugeot Sprint...

Seat post diameter is also helpful.

You have a UO-8 basic 10-speed successor; UO-9, perhaps another model designation, but plain gauge carbon steel frame. Nothing wrong with those -- my UO-8 commuter/beater sees more use than any of the better bikes in my collection, and it rides and handles far better than a frame in that price class has any right to.

Based on the stamped dropouts, its and entry level model with Peugeot/Carbolite 103, hi-tensile steel tubing. This is confirmed my the presence of what appears to the serrated, steel, Cromolux rims and a nutted rear hub.Rough condition. This is type of bicycle you find at garage sales with $20 price tags. You can easily sink $100 into this just for consumables. Then there's your time and the issue of dealing with French standards. In the end, you have a bicycle worth about $150.

It looks to be an AO series bike from the very early 80's likely Canadian built. The Peugeot branded center pulls and cheaper alloy crank place it 79-83 theres a good chance it has a model year sticker on the bottom of the chain stays if you get a chance to look at it.. I believe the green graphics and foil head badge place it at 82. Nice basic bike figure on spending $100 or so in parts and labor to get it in good riding shape.
