It's sort of a base level sport model from Peugeot, but a very decent quality bike that should ride very well and is worth modding up with a bit better components than Peugeot originally installed on it that will further improve its performance. Chombi
My '84 PH10L does have the seam at the back of the fork legs.
I would agree that it is a nice bike and lighter than many people realize. My 58cm with tubular wheels substituted came in at 22.1lbs. However, it is the bike which gets the fewest miles, and while it fits & rides well, nothing about it really stands out. If you have a collection I wouldn't spend too much on this one.
