Name this bike?

[abo]

I acquired this freebie earlier today. Clearly it is a Peugeot but my little google didn't throw up a name. Can anyone help?

The chromework is a bit pitted but might come up, other than that it rides ok; think it just needs a service, and that horn sounds like a seagul

My dear wife is dubious about riding it, I think it is cool lol

I'm struggling to pin it down. I've looked through here; http://www.peugeotshow.com/ a lot of nearly's but can't seem to find any 3 speed hub variants.

If the serial number is intact you should be able to date it here; http://cyclespeugeot.com/ModelID.html
Tell the wife I said it's cool too and she should ride it with her head held high

Yeah same I kept finding them with derailleurs or singlespeed I'll have a look for S/N when I clean it up. I had a look on the bottom bracket and there was something there but it could be a postcode stamp

How about something Norse? The Northlanders used to name their weapons, so we could apply that to bikes.

I think you are correct. Looks like it is from 1985. What a find

26 years old and still rides lovely. If it were the blokey version I'd ride it myself

edit: that sounds worse reading it back than it did when I typed it
