Vintage Peugeot
Hello all! I have found some hidden gems in my garage that are in pretty good shape considering the year. I unfortunately can’t post any pictures yet, but I am looking for someone who may be able to tell me what these bikes are worth. I have 2 vintage and one kids’ bike. They all probably need new tires. The only thing that would be good to know is if I should do restoration work or not!
You can check the album: My vintage Peugeot bikes! You will see the two Peugeots as well as the other bike!

A lot of that depends on where you're at, and what model they are. Here in the midwest you can pick up pretty nice Peugeots for less than $200 all the time. I just sold a beautiful mixte for $160 and it took awhile to sell at that price. But that's my market. Yours may be very different.

The white Peugeot is a late 1970s UO8 Sport while the blue model is a late 1980s UO12 Sprint. Both are upper entry level models for their respective eras. The U08 was arguably the best selling bicycle is Canada circa 1972, the peak year of the bicycle boom. This slightly later version is little changed and appears to be in good condition. To improve presentation the saddle should be levelled, and raised a few inches, the front quick release skewer properly locked and positioned, and the rear quick relase skewer properly positioned. The U012 improves on the UO8 with a better Reynolds 453 tubeset, aluminum 700C rims and an aluminum cotterless crankset. It also appears to be in good condition, though the handlebars should be reset to proper position and the saddle raised a few inches. The UO8 is slightly smaller than average, while the UO12 is larger than average, both of which may affect the values slightly.
Montreal is a pretty hot market. The Peugeots are quite desirable and in ready to ride condition would fetch good prices, well over $200 CDN. Unfortunately, you've posted non-drive pictures making it imposible to assess drive train condition and determine more accurate values. Bicycle photos should always be taken from the drive side, to display the crankset and derailleurs. The Sportek is a chidren's department store bicycle Definitely sub $100 CDN and probaly closer to $50 CDN.

Saw the bikes in your album. Nice...
Fix um up and ride um. Sell um. Break them up and part them out. All depends on you.
I guess the first thing is to determine what it would cost to replace them...

I would love to get the max amount in these babies, although they are actually pretty sleek! I do kinda appreciate them now that I am having a good look.

Close ups of the gears/derailleurs (Assuming they're not rusty and awful) can sometimes be helpful for people to know exactly what you're trying to sell them.

Hello All!
Sorry for the grand delay! I had life that hit me so I could never post more pictures! I unfortunately have not hit the 10 post count so I will post the remaining bike pictures to my profile!
