Interesting that the catalog shows 45-40/14-23 gearing, but lists the 52-40/14-28 one would expect on an AO-8 or UO-8.

Bottom Bracket Archeology
I’m deep into restoring my Peugeot. I opened up the bottom bracket and was surprised at what I found.
1.Bearings were mounted on a plastic retainer ring. Never seen that on a bike of this vintage.
Retainer rings and seeds
Dissected sunflower seed
2. Several black seeds. On closer inspection, these turned out to be sunflower seeds. I guess an enterprising Squirrel or chipmunk deposited these in the top of the seatpost!

Thanks for posting this! I had never really been aware of the UJ10, but the moment I saw the first photos I was intrigued. The lugs are Bocama model 14 type II, and they were used on a surprisingly wide range of bikes. Allegro switched to these lugs from Nervex Professionals c.1961; Raleigh used them on certain Super Courses, particularly 25.5-in examples, c.1970; and Peugeot used them on the PA-10.
I've encountered those bearings in Delrin retainers on a c.1972 Liberia. Juvela identified them as being made by Sim, and mentioned they're on page 83 of the 1970 RonKit Handbook.
