Hate to be the bearer of bad news but your Course frame is a totally different model than the 2 bikes pictured by randyjawa.
Your frame is a close to entry level model made of Peugeot Carbolite 103 tubing which is plain carbon steel.
Randyjawa's bikes are mid range models with higher quality - thus ligter alloy steel tubes. Look at the rear dropouts. Yours are stamped steel - the ones on his bikes are forged steel.
Peugeot used the same model name for completely different bikes depending on the market. For example in 1988 the Arivis was one of the top models in the UK but the bottom of the line model in Canada.
Your bike will make a fine rider but I wouldn't invest too much money in it because it will still be and ride like a lower end model.
The frame and wheels are the most important parts of a sporting model bike.
Frames made of stronger, lighter alloy steel tubing have what's called in French
"supplesse" or suppleness. The thinner lighter tubing absorbs road shock and vibration much better. Most experienced riders can feel a distinct difference in ride quality within half a block.
So at $30 plus another $150-$200 you'll have a nice rider.
