ID my new road-bike

[CosworthV8]

Hi all,

Not often I pop into this forum. For the last few months I've watched my mate upgrade and improve his Peugeot road-bike which he was given by a friend for free. As it happened it turned out it wasn't the right size him after he'd ploughed all of the money into it.

So after many months of lusting, he offered it to me and is now on the look out for a Felt or Kona or sorts to replace this:





It was originally white as you can tell by the peeling paint.

Any ideas as to what Peugeot it is?

I can hope you can help.

Charlie

Looks like an internal expander seatpost - don't lose or break it (rare!)

looks like a UE8 carbolite in which case its a nice steel frame from 78-83 or thereabouts. sadly its not that rare (though its hard to find an original one given the fixie trend) and carbolite bikes were the lower end of the range where the top end stuff used reynolds tubing. have a look here http://www.retropeugeot.com
