Hi folks,

I recently acquired what was listed as a Peugeot frame '88 (753r) I was fine with all that until I asked a bike shop to give me a quote on a new chainstay. Their frame builder took a look and questioned it being a 753r basing his opinion on the fact (according to him) that 753r's don't have fluted chainstays. No reason to mistrust the bloke who sold it to me who mentiond that he'd had the bike since new (1988) having it resprayed in black (originally he said it was blue) in 2010.

I've done some research; closest I can come is a 1988 Peugeot Perthus pro, which looks identical (fluted chainstays included) to my frame even with the embossed peugeot symbol on the forks. The only serial number I can find is on the bottom bracket and seems to be 6 (could be a B or 8) 1238960. I've attached pictures in the hope that someone will help. I've ben on the cycles peugeot page which was very helpful; just looking for further advice.

Many thanks

Gerald
