Days gone by.....dreaming of a past love.
Spotted this while cruising Ebay this morning. It's the exact color/decal scheme of the old Peugeot I rode all over Germany in the 80s. Love to find another in my size just for a silly nostalgic reason. No clue what model I really had back then but it was more of a utility type one. Full fenders, rear rack, lights, bottle generator, etc. Mine did have a chromed front fork too. Man did I put some miles on it.
One day I'll find it again in a 55/56 cm and all will be all right in the world, LOL!
Man I remember doing so much on that bike. First time I tore my meniscus I rehabbed it on this bike while waiting to start back running again. Lots of dark nights in paths deep in the woods coming back to my Kaserne from another one where I was taking night classes. I remember one winter night where it just slid out from under me at an icy intersection with a car right behind me. Don't think I ever moved so fast in my life as I got 'er back under me and moved out of the way, LOL! Lights sucked deep in the woods, just barely lighting things enough to see a few feet ahead. Remember at time riding alone the Rhine after heavy storms and the going through severel inches of standing water, somehow staying upright. I also carried a whole stereo system back to the barracks piece by piece on the rear rack, surely exceeding any weight limits. It was also quicker to take it into Karlsruhe via a bike path than it was to drive and I never had to worry about finding parking.
Many a weekend day was spent on it just riding the various paths between the small towns just loving the experience and getting lost more than a few times. Good times!

will be on the look out for you 
love to enable. I still dream of going back home and finding at a garage sale or clean out building pile, the fuji I fell in love with but could not afford in high school. It was wildly not the right bike for the the Hiline area of montana, with race geometry and sewups, but it was probably the genisis of my nice bike appreciation. The Azuki i got instead served with honor getting ridden all over the world as I took it with me to the Coast Guard

The bike in the pic. Is a model "PSN" Peugeot.
Basically a Peugeot PSV with Italian Campagnolo Victory component gruppo on it, instead of the French components supplied on the PSV.
Actually not a "utility" bike that one would mount fenders, lights and racks on (As it does not have provisions like dropout eyelets and braze-ons for such equipment), but more of a mid level race bike.
If your bike did come with such equipment from the factory, then it is not a PSN.
It should be easy enough to find out what exact model you had as Peugeot did not have that many bike models in this color.
You might have to look for a Euro Peugeot catalogue to find it though, as the bike might have been only sold in Europe.

Colour is unusual . Champagne I think they call it ?
If it was the right price I would be sorely tempted to purchase .
Looks like my size too !
I have a black version that evokes similar sorts of memories .

Well......not the color I was looking for but a nice fresh canvas to start with. Bike was fully stripped down and treated to a fresh powdercoating that looks pretty good. New decals and pretty much period correct parts. Some things to sort out but all and all pretty cool.
Seller had built it up for a century event than had a wreck on another bike and broke his hip. Cool, older gentleman who sold it to me for a lot less than he put into it. Just wanted it moved on since he couldn't use it.
I'll have to give some thought for what direction I'll take this.

My spray-bombed beater is a PSN 10 originally outfitted like the champagne model pictured. The Super Vitus frameset is even lighter than my 531c Raleigh. One of the better kept C&V secrets IMO.
