Gorgeous bike...the Primato is a heck of a machine, and I love the color. To me MAX and EL OS represent the pinnacle of the classic steel frame in many ways.

Chas.
nice Frenchies!!! I have a soft spot for Gitane- my very first road bike was a Gitane with the TdF team frame colors much like yours, except mine was more metallic. I have a pic somewhere. Will have to dig it up and post it someday.

One of these:



Peugeot UO-8, one of the biggest sellers of the 70's bike boom. For an inexpensive bike it worked remarkably well. With upgrades it overreached its humble origin. Peugeot eventually upgraded it to the UO-9 and UO-10, changing to allow wheels and crank, other nice features. They also sold it as the UE-8 and the UO-18. One was a touring version, the other a mixte, but I can never remember which was which. They sold a cheaper version called the AO-8 which had non-QR wheels, cheaper rims and crank, same frame but with less chrome.

That was my new UO-8 in 1972 IIRC. (I'm a bit fuzzy about the date. It's been a while.) I upgraded it with alloy wheels, derailleurs, seatpost, crank, handlebar, pedals w/toe clips & straps. I still ride it.

The UE-8 was the touring bike; the UO-18 was the mixte. Now you know. You can forget it tomorrow.

If your collection ends with the DeRosa, it would be a very nice place to end.

My first ten speed, green, handed down from my dad,. He bought a "sears" which had more alloy parts, but none of the cool appeal to a 12 year old in 1970.thanks

How's the UO-8 compared to a PX-10? There's a nicely restored one in Seattle's CL for $400.

Thanks G! It is a great "all-around'r"- I use it for light loaded touring, commuting, and gravel/trail riding, but not yet CX'ing. Might one day try a CX race for fun.

Lately, I've been lusting for a sweet lugged rando bike with fenders, racks, and Campy triple. Something like this below.
