This gorgeous old Peugeot has come to me for renovation. I think I'm in love! I just need to get rid of that horrible modern Sora front mech. I love the Mafac Racer brakes and the Milk Race pump.
The front fork seems to have a lot more clearance for mudguards than the rear, so maybe it is a replacement?
any idea what the one above is model wise??
I had a Peugeot in the 1970s - and so o until some scrote nicked it from my garage many years later
I loved it - serial number was 3616562- I think - it was a long time ago
I think it was about 1973 vintage - possible a U08 or something like that
had aluminium mudgards that came in for a lot of criticism - but I never saw the thrill of getting mud up my back so they stayed
it was purple - if that matters - but it did to me at the time
any idea what the one above is model wise??
I had a purple Peugeot for a while but it was a bit too small for me and I ended up passing it on to a friend to use as a fixed gear.

Yeah it did originally come with mudguards and a rack - the mudguards had an odd mounting where the rear brake was mounted vertically through both the frame and the mudguards. Sadly I only got it as a frameset and the mudguards were pretty mangled so I removed them, I was able to get them mostly OK again, but didn't fit them back on.That looks very like mine
except for the mudguards and rear rack
And a good reason to patronise local shops.and he still had some - and could put his hands on one in a couple of minutes
Very impressive!!!
