Puzzling Peugeot
Okay folks, time for yet another Name That Bike Thread. This cute Peugeot mixte has been languishing in my in-laws' succession of barns/attics for as long as I've been married (15 years). I've tried to talk them into passing it along to me but the best I could do this visit was get some new Walmart tires on it. They swear they bought it in Afghanistan in the mid-1970's. My father-in-law is a retired foreign service officer. Here's the problem: it has 1985 date-coded Shimano stem shifters. They had ample opportunities to buy bikes at European PXs in the 80's so I wonder if their memory is off by a decade and a continent.
To further complicate things, the 1985 French and US Peugeot catalogs don't seem to have an exact match. Oh yeah, 27" wheels on a French bike? And the rear rim is steel, front is alloy. Old tires were Michelin World Tour. Sorry for the crappy photos blah blah blah.
My son loves it.
