How to identify this older Peugeot road bike?
How can I identify this bike? I rescued it out of somebody's trash on garbage day, and it appears to be a pretty nice road bike (I was expecting a dime-a-dozen 1980s 10-speed). I can take detailed pictures with my digital camera if anybody thinks it would help. Keeping in mind that some components have probably been changed, here's everything I can list about it: "Peugeot" in blue letters over dark grey dithered fading-towards-rear checker-patterned boxes on top tube Dull silver or metallic grey general paint color Chrome-plated/polished fork "Super Vitus 980" "Special Double Butted" tubing Major tubing joints have reinforcement metal on them, looks almost like the sort of tubing connector where you slide all involved tubes into it; but it is obiously only a reinforcement due to it's thin gauge. Mavic Module E2 rim on rear Rigida 7000 rim on front, slightly wider; I suspect this rim was original equipment for both Peugeot Helico Matic rear hub, no label on front hub Mostly Peugeot components (drivetrain, brakes) Quick-release hubs "Laprade" seatpost which appears to be cast-aluminum Selle Italia RS saddle Large chainring has very fine logo printed, may say "Strongught" or something similar (I just looked with a magnifying glass, looks like "Stronglight") Downtube shifters; they have "S" stamped on face near the end "Mafac" stamped on brake levers (single-type/aero levers) 1926363, PF60, and 56 printed on a label on the underside of the bottom bracket 3 chainring, 5 cog Large round reflectors on front and back Found with old 700c x 25 x 90psi Michelins threaded-style stem Brakes each have a single cable that ends in a bracket which then has a seperate short cable whose ends attach to each side of brake (is this a "double pull" brake?) Thank you, Rick Onanian |
