Would you be able to tell me the CTC of the top tube? Thanks!

The top tube measures 58cm center-to-center.

Here's a specification sheet for the bike:

Thanks for your inquiry and have a great day.

Pretty sure the original crankset on a '77 was a Stronglight 99. Earlier PX10LEs used the 93, and perhaps a previous owner wanted more of a traditional "race crank," as the 99 was considered a touring crank with its smaller bolt circle. The real sketchy part is the BSC bottom bracket. AFAIK, French Peugeots did not change until after '82. I should remember, as I was selling them at the time, but those days are hazy for some reason. It is possible to force British cups into a French BB shell, even with the mismatched thread direction of the right cup; there was enough manufacturing variation to more than account for the 0.2 mm difference in diameter, and the thread pitch is only off by 1.4 mm per inch. That sounds like a lot to a machinist or decent auto mechanic, but it's surprising what a determined bike mechanic with a cheater bar can pull off, or an inexperienced bike beater with a 25-dollar set of British BB taps. You should be able to tell by looking carefully at the drive-side internal threads if some hanky panky went down in there.

Otherwise, the bike looks super clean -- really pretty.

Added: While I really like both the Stronglight 93 and 99, i would have to admit that the Sugino Mighty is a better crankset, and a whole lot easier to source replacement chainrings for. If the bottom bracket threading is incorrect, but stays in place while being easily adjustable, and the cups are in alignment, I certainly would have no problems riding it. If the cups are out of alignment, the adjustment will have a tendency to go right from too loose to a little too tight, or will have play 90 degrees from being tight.

As you suggest, the 1977 US Peugeot brochure shows the bike with a Stronglight 99 crankset. I did not remove the fixed cup because the bearing race was smooth and the bottom bracket adjusted fine. I bought the bike from the original owner who said the only things he changed were the seat and the wheels; I did not ask him about the crankset and bottom bracket. He said the bike originally came with tubulars but he tired of dealing with them; the Maillard hubs are stamped 83 which, from what I've read, indicates 1983 production year.
