60cm frame size
Wow, that big? I'm only 5'9" and the bike fits me fairly well with the seat down pretty low. Obviously the top tube "interferes" a bit, but the cockpit feels almost just right. :) Weird. It does look big enough to be 60 though, now that I think about it.

It does look big enough to be 60 though, now that I think about it. I am an inch shorter than you, and my 57cm PKN-10 is too tall for me. Looking at your head tube, I have no doubts that yours is a 60cm frame.

I'm soooo jealous, I have no Peugeot :(
2 Fuji's, 1 Ross, 1 Raleigh, and 1 Schwinn, but no Peugots.

If you were in Philly then you could have this one (http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/bik/156756902.html) from craigslist for $100.

The listing was deleted, so I guess that it found a happy home.

I once had one of those, and it was the best bike I ever owned. It was purchased for $399.95 in August, 1985. Mine was a maroon color instead of black, with the same white/yellow/orange/red swoosh marks featured on the bikes in the above photos. The geometry of this machine was amazing, with quick acceleration and precise handling, yet it rode very well on the pavement it was designed for. A similar bike today would likely cost over $1,200.00. Unfortunately, the bike was stolen when a relative carelessly left it unlocked during use.
