Peugeot tube metal
Thanks to all who helped me date my "MIXTIE" frame peugeot.
I have a question about tube material.
The decal on the seat post upright reads:
Tube Special
Carbolite
103
By Peugeot
France
The serial # Y41' 24179 ( these are 2 seperate stampings on BB.)
From previous threads
Y=Renyolds 531SL
SL=A lighter version than venerable tube set
Total bike weight 30 lbs.
Carbolite 103 or Renyolds 531? Thanks

A "Y" in the model number designates Reynolds 531SL tubing. For instance, the model PY10 used Reynolds 531SL. A "Y" in the serial number has nothing to do with the tubing type. However, the serial number does tell us that the frame was manufactured in 1984. Carbolite was the hi-tensile steel developed to permit lugless, internal brazing and used in Peugeot's entry level models during the early 1980s.
