Hey all, new subscriber here.
I was surfing the net trying to see if I could determine what my 2 peugeots were worth when I came across your forum. After reading a few posts, I went out to the garage and looked for some numbers on my bikes. Here's some of what I found, and some info on how I got them.
Bike #1
I was given this used white Peugeot for christmas in 1978. It belonged to my dads boss's son. It has a number stamped into the left rear tire slot, number is 155016. The rear wheel is really smooth and rounded and is a Rigida with the number 60 in a small diamond. It says 27x1 1/4 (H.P , made in france, RIGIDA, chromage superchromix, 19 and then the diamond with the 60 in it. The front wheel was replaced after being taco'd when I was a kid. The rear derailer is a Suntour Honor with Kaeda industries Japan ZA stamped on it. It also has the number 4532 stamped on it and the word(?) STROKEADJ between the hi/lo adjusters.
Bike #2
I picked this white Peugeot up at an auction house in 1998. I dont remember what I paid for it, but it wasn't a lot. This bike has a metal plate under the frame with the number 2750237 stamped on it. It does not have a number on the rear left tire slot. Both RIGIDA wheels on this bike have the number 72 in diamonds stamped on it. The rear derailer is a Simplex.
Anyway, I know you can't put an exact dollar figure on these bikes, based on this info, but it would be nice to know some highs and lows, and if the highs are kinda low, if I should just get them street worthy again and let the kids and grandkids ride them around.
Thx,
Brian & Dava
