Are you sure it's a Peugeot, and not another bike with Peugeot
stickers? ISTR there was a manufacturer called Rotary, but I can't
find any reference to it - possibly it was badge-engineered for a
catalogue or retail chain. The spec certainly sounds Peugeot, but I
suppose that could apply equally to any of the French manufacturers.

Rotary were an economy brand. I don't remember who sold them, but they were
the first bikes I remember in the UK to be sold in a semi-assembled
condition. They came in a heat-welded plastic bag, with the wheels and
pedals removed, the handles turned, and the saddle pushed right down. My
brother bought himself one after he managed to get his and my bikes
stolen.Thankfully he didn't buy me one.
