That bicycle is very similar to a Canadian made Peugeot Super Sport.

The Super Sport, like the Course presented, is made from Carbolite 103 tubing and will weigh in at about 24-25 pounds. Quality wise, lower mid level, at best, but you will find the ride to be pretty good, if it is anything like the bikes Canadian cousin.

However, and I am not sure about this, the bicycle might be French threaded, which will cause parts replacement issues. Not insurmountable, but a pain, none the less.

Vintage Bicycle Value - that could be anyone's guess, but for my money, $100 to $150 is not out of line.

Hope that is a help.
