Hello "Vitus"? as in aluminum frame? you might want to ask about recall and cracks. look real good around the head lugs and the BB shell, especially where the seat tube enters.

There have been a couple PSV-10 threads recently. IMHO, their value is more subjective than other collectible Pugs like the PX-10--I happen to like them and would buy one if a good opportunity cropped up. On the other hand, I'm not out there searching for a PSV-10 either.

I am.
As far as the bike goes, Peugeot doesnt spec a Super Vitus model with campy until 1985. By then they wre using clincher tires so the proper designation woud be PSN-10 with 'N' designating clinchers.
As gamecat mentioned, prices are very subjective and all over the map. I know of a recent PX10 from the same era, in superbe condition that sold for $300 so I'd say:
$200-250 but that is subject to change by quite a bit dpending on the exact year, components (full Campy, partial Campy etc) and condition.

Speaking of PSV-10 and PX-10 *Strolls into the room*
As everyone has stated... Prices are all over the place. PX-10 would sell for more and faster just due to the model name and that fact more people know about the PX-10 line than any other Peugeot line.
Sizing would also affect pricing as well. From what everyone has told me the PSV or PSN made from Super vitus are great rides so maybe keep it for yourself unless you absolutely gotta sell it

I used to own a Peugeot PSV-10. It was simply too big for me. The Super Vitus 980 frame is the French equivalent of Reynolds 531. Good high end stuff from Vitus. In their day, they built high quality steel tubing for bicycles.

I raced the later version of your bike (PSN-10). Very light, very fast, but a bit too springy. The bike had a nasty 'death wobble' above about 25 mph. Wheels, frame alignment, new headset, never fixed it. After one season, I moved on.
I still have the bike. Now that I am old, fat and slow, it rides quite nicely.

WV is not flat..
I just sold this PSN10 for $230. It was pretty scratched up and I didn't really need another project. I hope I don't regret it down the road. It was pretty bouncy, and being 195 it just wasn't made for me. It had a full Campy Triomphe group with Super Vitus 980 frame and fork..

No, Vitus tubing is different from Vitus bikes. Vitus is high-end French cromoly, with different grades designated by the numbers following the name (e.g., Vitus 172, Super Vitus 980, etc.)
Ah, that's (kind of) a new one for me. Would that mean Vitus bikes are in some way related to Vitus the tubing manufacturer?

I'm still torn about the fact that I sold it, though I admit - it was a bit of a rough example, and I've never been keen on that bolt-on front derailer.
Take care,

Is it me, or was this the C&V equivalent of drinking Jobu's rum?

Well I did say it was my 2 cents didn't I? guess it was not worth much here. LOL I thought perhjaps Vitus license built bikes like Alan did back then.
