Another "Help me identify this Peugeot" thread!
For the life of me, I can't imagine why they never bothered to put a model name on these bikes but they didn't. Now I am trying to figure out what this latest one is! It's got a head-tube badge, not a decal. It has checkered stickers. It's a 12 speed. This all makes me suspect early eighties. No chrome at all makes me think low end BUT it has no chrome at all on it and. AFAICT, all the low-end Peugeots of the late 70s and 80s had stem shifters. This one has down-tune shifters. Everything component wise is branded Peugeot and is all aluminum, even the wheels. I can't figure it out and I hit Retropeugeot and cyclespeugeot.

The frame looks later than the components to me. I think it's likely a post 1987, asian made, Procycle (Canadian) frame with earlier components circa 1980, with the brakes maybe being even earlier. Magna lite is the tip off.
This is semi-edumacated guesswork on my part.

I don't think this is a Canadian market model. It looks like a good match for the US market, 1983 UO14, with the exception of a SX610 rear derailleur versus the spec'd SX410. There may be a model designation/serial number/size sticker under the bottom bracket or chainstay.

looks to be an 82/83 because of the graphics on the frame and the plastic lion headbadge. It looks to be a higher model tha a PH10s as the rear DOs are foged Simplex. The double front rack eyelets and centerpulls seem to suggest a touring type bike.

Sorry to bring back an older thread, but I have the same bicycle. It is a 1982-84 U0-14

It was also common for this model to have the front fork swapped out for chrome forks used in the PH models from the same years.
