It looks like a ladies frame but i do not know since I have seen some men on these bikes. I would like to know the year of it. It's a mafac racer

It is not a Mafac Racer. That is the brand of brake caliper.

Its a UO18, somewhere in the mid 1970s (looks a lot like a 1974 model.

Current state (needs TLC) $50. Fully refurbished: new bearings, grease, tires, tubes, cables and housings, $175 in my market. Note, unless you do all the work yourself, it will cost you all of that difference and most likely more at a shop to have it refurbished.

Price assumes bike is marketed well.

In one of those insane markets, more.

I just sold a Peugeot exactly like that for $170 in mint condition. Last year I could have gotten $200. the market for bikes has declined a bit. Here is Peugeot web site http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.re-cycle.com%2FHistory%2FPeugeot.aspx&ei=pwhgTJEchfa2A8ODwKoL&usg=AFQjCNE9Yg-7BJq9oHLiMdUDFDig0tLr_w&sig2=y2k5ofrK0aXTsNtviKdSJQ
Start going thru catalogs from the early 70's and you'll find your bike. You may not get the exact year, but close. I sold my bike easily. Its very desirable with young women
