Finally got a Peugeot Mixte
I have been looking for one of these for a while now and i finally found one at a very good price. It is being delivered on Saturday and i can't wait to get started tuning , cleaning and polishing her.
( I know a mixte is a male and female bike but it is still a she isn't it?! lol )
Does anybody know which model it might be?
Also i noticed that it has the nice front luggage rack that attaches to the brakes.
Thanks

It would help a great deal to have a drive side photo, & additional detail on the crank and DRs.
That being said, it sort of looks like the PA65 pictured in the mid 70's French catalog.

I'll post some better photos when i receive the bike on Saturday.
I've looked online and it does look very similar to the PA65.
Thanks for the link.

Maybe from round 1975? The paint looks like it came out of the same tin as the stuff on my 1975 PX60...

I'm looking forward to seeing better photos of yours. Looks like it has the same transfer set as mine. I bet with a bit of cleaning with compound and a good waxing your frame will come up very nicely. I think yours might be a U18. I'm not an expert on Peugeots, though.
A couple of good sites to have links to are

We need some good photos of the bike, but I love the gold color. Be sure to post full-size photos when you get it!

These are heavy but very cool bikes. Here's the one I picked up from CL not long ago and it was worth spending days polishing every centimeter of the shiny bits

Love mixtes in general and yours is very nice. Many French mixtes were made for touring the backroads of Europe, so yours has the front and rear rack. Nice features! I have both a Nishiki and Motobecane mixtes. My Nishiki appears on the "show us your mixte" thread...
