Looks okay, finest French gaspipe 
. These were produced in their thousands for the UK market in the eighties. Looks like the wheels and RD have been changed. Chainset in decent condition.
Make a good restoration project or a SS.
Can't be bad for nought.

Yup these aren't the more desirable Pugs, but they are easy to get and it's surprising how they can turn out, here's two I did.
By the way, I went waaaaaaayyyy OTT doing these, and if I ever do another I'd stick to a sympathetic resto rather than a full on resto mod.
Then again I'm sure that was my original plan for these two buggers

Good idea, I usually go all guns then decide, I’ll give a wipe down and the tyres a pump and have a ride.

I really like the gun-metal grey colour of those old Peugeots. There's a similar version with a pearlescent white finish. Not high end, but really nice to ride IMO.

This is mine, given to me by a friend, I sent it to Bob Jackson's and had a full respray and re stickered, its only a P10 running Sora mechs, it was already 9 speed and came with Mavic sup pro wheels, rides lovely, although it does not get used much, to good to get rid of.
