Help Me in Identifing a Puegeot?
I recently bought this bike off of craigslist for 80 bucks. I'm still new to road biking, and was wondering if anyone out there could help me identify it. The guy I bought it from thought made somewhere in the mid 80's. The frame was made in France it has Weinmann brakes, Rigida 700c rims, Simplex deraillers, Nervar cranks and pedals, and a mallard 6 speed cassette. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it.

Hmmm...the Peugeot experts will have to weigh in but that looks like a Reynolds 501 sticker on the fork. What is the frame tubing? Is that 501 also? Seems to be a decent bike, probably nicer than my 1985 PH10LE.

Burgundy automaticly dates it as 1984, '85 or '86.
501 tubing makes it a PGN10 or a PH501
Nervar cranks make it a 1984
You have 1984 PGN10

Look for a paper decal on the BB or on the chainstay next ot the BB. Post those numbers if you can and post the number stamped into the BB if you could thanks,

Sweet Peugeot BTW.
My Guess was going to be PH501, I gladly defer to Jim's knowledge.

Here's the serial number I found on the bottom bracket, I think the piece of paper is long gone by this time.
84018557
I really appreciate the help from everyone at the forum, what a great welcome. I was wondering if anyone out there could help me with a few questions. I was thinking of replacing the brakes and was wondering if there were any special considerations I had to take into account or if standard caliper road brakes would work.
Thanks for all the help, I'm definitely new to to road biking, and just as new to vintage bikes.

You might have a problem there with many standard road brakes of today - my old bike had Weinmann 500's and when I broke a caliper in a crash (and long before I knew about bikeforums or the joys of eBay) I replaced it with a Shimano Sora. I had to take a Dremel to the slots to get the brakes to adjust properly because the reach was a little too short. There are nice long reach modern brakes available though now so if you look around that shouldn't really prevent you from putting newer brakes on it. I'm sure some others will have some specific model suggestions for you.

Here's my PGN10 with 105 Shimano. Everything bolted right on including the dual pivot brakes and indexed shifters. You got a nice deal, as I paid $100 for mine and thought I was getting a good deal also. Enjoy it, they ride as good as they look, especially with a little updating!! Congratulations!,,,,BD

Yours does raise a question about mine though? My seat post is way different, and taller at the lowest setting. Yours looks more like Peugeot type OE stuff. I wonder where mine came from?,,,,BD

BD...both seat posts are O.E. 1984 PGN's used a set screw brazed to the back of the seat tube with a grooved seatpost for the screw. 1985 and later PGN's used an internaly expanding seatpost (as you know).
BD...what are your serial numbers?
Peugeot was still doing funny seatpost stuff well into the late 90's. Beautiful detail here.....

I'm not into Peugeots but that one could change my mind in a hurry. Reynolds 501, downtube shifters mounted on braze-ons, nice. Just my size too! Just kidding, enjoy your ride that's sweet.

Ahh, cool info on the frame differences. Funny thing is, the Lowly Huffy Aerowind was using that same type of design around 1980. The bolt was an allen head, and was below the seat cluster about 4 inches.
I was pretty certain mine was made between 84 and 86. The rainbow stripes, but no top tube name. I will try to get the serial number in the morning. I am getting an extremely rare day off tomorrow, and will be outside working on bikes FOR SURE!
Thanks Dapper! Yours isn't bad either. Rainbow Peugeots are my favorites, the most distinctive of all
their paint schemes.,,,,BD

Mid 80's Peugeots are awesome bikes. Excellent quality and a superbe ride. Incredible deals can found as only one or 2 models consistently go for more than retail.

Pretty certain it's not French Although I don't think I needed to change anything that would be affected by that. The BB and headset were good, and I left the original pedals on it The RD did thread right on without the hanger being tapped, so BSA is a strong bet. Same thing for the shifters.,,,,BD

When did the top tube naming start? 87? A friend has a Ventoux with WHITE Sachs derailleurs, and a white Stronglight crankset to match. If the thing wasn't a 48-49cm I would own it already. The top tube hit me about mid thigh, haha.,,,,BD
