Peugeot on this morning's Craigslist....
Anyone care to comment? Not much information provided, and the pictures aren't much. I've emailed the owner asking for more information and supplementary pics. Anyone have a idea as to model/year? Worth fifty bucks, you think?

Looks like a pretty low end 70's Peugeot to me. Probably worth $50 though if you intend to ride it, would probably ride pretty nice once set up. And yeah, the seller managed not to post even one decent pic of the bike, lol..

Yep, very basic Peugeot 10-speed from the bike boom, and the color is the best thing it has going for it. Very unusual. The bike does appear to be in decent shape, judging from the poor photos. You can find a hundred like it except for the color.

That's a French or EU market bike, note the generator tab on the NDS seat stay. It's missing the pump as well. I don't necessarily think it's a AO-8, but that's the closest equivalent North American model. There's at least $75 in parts there, I think it's worth it for that alone, but this looks like a good candidate for refurb and resale at $175-$225 if your local market supports it.

I am pretty sure that it is not a U08 but a A08 @John E stated. That means one step below. That being said it would be a good candidate for a rebuild and ride or resale especially in that unique color. Go for it. At $50 you can't lose.

The color is fricking aweome... all the important original parts are there, so if everything seems like it's in working order (i.e. no clunking in the crank when you turn it, no "notch" in the turning radius of the front fork) then fiddy seems like a fair value. Will probably need a full rehab of grease/bearings/cables/tires; so add at least fiddy to get her running right. Then ride it and sell for hundred when you tire of it (if that ever happens). The color has a lot of curb appeal, for both those in the know, and those who are just looking for a cool old bike.

It is NOT an AO-8. The front lugs give that away.
Take a look at this P-10 from 1974. Peugeot catalog (1974) . I think this is the bike you have. Now, even though it is a "better" Peugeot model, all of Peugeot's Carbolite-framed bikes were very similar. I have an AO-8 and it is a delightful bike to ride; this P-10 should be also. I'd snap it up.

Pump mount is in the wrong place for P-10. If it's a '74, it's more likely a PX-8 or PL-8. We know definitively it's European manufacture because of the rear generator tab. It looks like it's provisioned on the dropouts and front fork for fenders. If it has any wire provision tabs on the downtube and NDS seat stay leading up to the generator, I'm voting PX-8 pr PL-8. '74 FR catalog, '75 FR catalog show those two models with pump mounts on the top tube and it looks like this exact bike on CL is pictured on the front of the 72-73 FR catalog...

RAther than start a new post, I hope it's OK to hook onto this thread. Here's a Peugeot advertised in my local CL. From the discussions above and the catalog perhaps a '74 or '75? Probably hi tensil steel and steel rims? Seems to me to be in good condition and a good price. Any advice to this newbie to the C & V world appreciated.

$200 is more than I would pay for that bike, even in that shape. Given your location, at the very least I'd want to swap the rims for aluminum so you could ride it.

I'd say it is an AE-8. Peugeot catalog (1974) The steel is Carbolite, which in my experience provides a lovely ride at the expense of some weight.

This second bike also made me realize - the OP's bike (the orange one), it actually was a fendered bike. You can see the tabs on the seat stay about an inch above the brake caliper.

Maybe it's just another case of "haven't seen it, not yet at least", but I've never seen a bike with the generator tab on the seat stay that didn't come with fenders. After all, what would the generator power? I was wondering if this was the first one I'd come across, but then I saw the rear rack tabs as well.
In flipping through the French catalogs, it's really tough to find any [edit: 70s] bikes without fenders until you get up into the PR, PY, PX and whatnot (even PN had fenders). There were a couple of weirdos like the PA-65 that had fenders w/o mounted lights in exchange for a tail light with a rear mount. Best pic I can find of that (wrong side, but you can see it) is here.

Good eye! I'll watch for those in future.
here in Seattle it's almost all AO-8s and UO-8s, with a very few 18s and PX models. I don't have much chance to learn about the others.

Thanks for your feedback re the purple Peugeot ... and my apologies to the OP if I confused the conversation between the purple and orange bikes.

Original OP here. Received a few new pics from the orange bike's seller this morning. Not terribly useful from my perspective, but some of the wise men here might find them interesting.
Thanks for your collective wisdom! I'm still thinking about this bike, but trending negative; a) it's not my size (looks like a 55 or 57, I'd say); b) it's at least a 45 minute drive away; and c) I don't really need another project right now!

I'd buy that bike in a heartbeat for $50. Every UO-8, 9, or 10 that I've seen locally has been listed for over $200 and then it dies a slow death because that's a heck of a lot of money for a basic steel bike from the boom era.
