You have a late '80s Peugeot MTB in pretty much near stock configuration - definitely not any of the Peugeot road models by far.

Dirtdrop's gruff commentary is because many Peugeot owners who do not know what they have assume that they have PX-10s or variants of. The misunderstanding has only been fueled by unscrupulous Craigslist sellers attempting to pass off low-end AE or UO series models as PX-10s (and in some cases, militantly supporting their positions, to the point where I've heard of one or two cases in where I can recall sellers as threatening police intervention for online harassment - or something to that extent - in response to folks citing the mis-labeling of the bike).

As a result, the community generally frowns on any incorrect designation of a Peugeot as a PX-10 or as a close relative of the PX. Of course, some of us also have our own personal breaking points if we happen to have seen just too much of this happening in a single week - and I dare say it has been one of those days for Dirtdrop.

...and of course, you must realize that from the collector's standpoint, mistaking an older Peugeot MTB for a PX-10 is bizarre to the point of hilarity, considering previous events. No offense!
