Help identifying the model of my new Peugeot bicycle
Hey everyone,
I’m fairly new here but I thought to reach out for help. I recently bought this Peugeot bicycle and I’m having trouble to identify it’s model and if it’s all original or had some work done on it.
Anyone here keen to help me out please? As I’m new might need to PM pictures of the bike.
Cheers

Mind Readers...
You need to post 10 messages to Bike Forums before you can post any images. That's to prevent scammers.
Someone will jump in to tell you how to post to picture to your membership info so that they can copy and post the images for you until you get to 10.
Good luck...

It can be hard identifying a Peugeot. You can start by looking in the catalogs.

Thanks for that verktyg ! Definitely too new to understand how I do that but will wait
What color is it?
Does it have an actual head badge or a sticker?
Does it have chrome?
Is there a sticker that says what type of tubing?
do the wheels have nuts to attach them to the frame or quick releases?
wht size are the tires?
Are there brand and or model names on the components?

Well, we have a photo but it's poor resolution and taken from from the non-drive side. The OP is also in the UK, complicating identification for most members, who are located in the USA. However, the graphics, in combination with an internally routed rear brake cable and 700C wheels suggest an upper entry level, sports model, circa 1986-1989. The serial number will indicate the exact build date.
It's been substantially modified, with at least new handlebars, a front dual pivot brake caliper and brake/shift levers, though curiously the latter don't appear to have the shift mechanism enabled as there are no shift cables coming from them and the old shift levers are still in place on the down tube.
It look like there may be a model name on the back of the frame's top tube. If not, photos of the tubing decal, rear brake caliper, derailleurs and crankset may help us determine the model.

Hi all!
Bianchigirll few answers around your questions :
- Colour red (what it seems to be tulip red)
- Peugeot Sticker on the front
- No chrome
- HLE tubing
- Wheels quick release
- 700c tires
- Brand on components can only see Campagnolo on the break levers, Miche performance break calipers, Sachs Hurrent gears , Rígida wheels.
- There is a label that says “BS 6102” from Peugeot Cycles. Not sure if helps?
T-Mar on the top tube there’s no model name. Only the 12 vitesses decal. Not sure if works the picture upload but tried to upload a few more.

This bike has the chrome fork which is different from OPs bike.

Very similar in appearance to my UO 14 which you would be familiar with T-MAR but I haven't zoomed in to look closely at the OPs image you shared. Did they make the same bike but then just call it something different in other countries? I often see a black bike with the same colour scheme and decals but I think it's labeled a UO 8.

Not sure if this is visible or not but I uploaded a few more pictures to my album, hope it works.
Did some work on it today to remove the mudguards and polish some of the metals.

I forgot to mention that your UO14 was probably manufactured in Canada by Procycle's Velosport division while the OP's bicycle is French. If I recall correctly, the Canadian market UO14 of this period also used the relatively rare Reynolds 453 tubeset. I would have edited my previous post to include this information but I see you've already read it.

You are absolutely correct T-Mar, Velosport from Montreal and is made from Reynolds 453.
OPs bike is similar but definitely not the same as my UO 14. This Peugeot is in fantastic shape if that's the original paint job.

Oh, there's an idea for a idea for a new C&V influenced song - Serial Number Confidential. Hmm, I wonder if Carole Pope is interested?

I can't recall if you ever posted the serial number. If not, I'd appreciate it. If you don't want to post it online, you can provide it via private message. It will remain confidential and be used only for my serial number research. TIA.

BTW I think you and I are probably the only ones who get the confidential serial number reference ha ha
She's actually touring these days so I might go catch her in concert.

Wow! She's touring during Covid-19? That would be a Rough Trade to be in at the moment.
