What is the value of this Peugeot Road Bike?
Does anyone know the year / model / specs / value of this peugeot road bike? I've been doing a lot of research and just ended up more confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have other pictures as well if it would help. Thank you very much!

That is a vintage frame and a nice one too, PX10 from 1980s I'd guess. Someone has completely modernized it into a "retro roadie". As such, it doesn't have collector value, but has rider value so to speak. On Craiglist here, I think that would fetch $300 pretty easily, maybe up to $400 if someone values the Vector wheels.

Still learning
That bike will likely bring more than $400 value parted out because it has a 7-8 speed Shimano Tricolor drive train with brifters, the Vector Wheels noted above, SPD pedals, and the 531 frameset.

I agree with the comments about it bringing in more money if parted out.
The "Frankenbike" build on the bike will not attract most Peugeot C&V fans as they would most likely prefer the French components that originally came with the bike (Most likely Stronglight/Spidel/Maillard/Mavic...etc.) If it had all its original components (especially as French top line component values had gone through the roof in the last few years) and the bike was in VGC overall, you might have gotten around 600+- bucks for it. But as-is, you might not even get close to $400. The CLB pro brake calipers might bring in good money though, if you sell it to a weight weenie that loves that stuff. In very good condtion, it could bring around 80 some bucks and maybe just a bit more on a really good day. Yes, asking prices for NOS sets seem to suggest they should bring in more, but those sellers are delusional at best and never really sell those 500-600 CLB brakesets they have on eBay. They are just not that rare nor do they brake any better or better made (in fact they can be quite crude in some areas like the levers) than most other brakesets from that era. I also think that this edition of the PX10 was never really that popular, as the aesthetic quality of the graphics on the frame is quite disappointing, compared to older and even newer PX10s.

Thank you everyone for your help! Yours answers were both helpful and informative. I do have one more question though. What kind of lugs are on this bike? Are they nervex? Also what is the difference between braised vs. non-braised (and which one is my frame / lugs?) Again thank you so much for you help, I am now a much more educated newbie
