If Peugeot decided to equip the PSV's with higher level components like at least a full Spidel group, which I think the SV980 frame deserves, it would be worth more than 200-300 bucks that everyone had been suggesting ($300ish had been typical for PSV's in very good to close to mint condition lately). Kinda sad that they put an RD/FD that was pretty much the same as what came on their much "humbler" models like the PH10S. Same goes for the low budget saddles they put on them and the Weinmann 500 or 605 brakes. So that certainly pulls down the bike's value. Frankly, the only thing that caught my eye on the PSV component-wise was the beautiful Stronglight 104bis crankset with the "drillium" rings.
It's sad that Peugeot did not support the last French steel frame they had in their model line a little better.
That's why many PSV owners these days usually decide to upgrade the components on their bikes. The frame's worth doing so.
