Bikes: A bunch of old bikes and a few new ones

This bike is in beautiful shape and it's old. I'd buy it at the right price.

To the OP: you're in the Netherlands or Belgium, right? The European models were not quite the same as the American ones.

This is not a UO-8, 9, or 10. Those bikes had claw derailleurs and did not have nice forged drop outs.

Peugeot made a lower end racing bike with hi-tensile steel and and a hanger but I'm not sure if I've seen one with a nice forged drop out like this. The Pugs I've seen with forged drop outs typically had a little nicer frame tubing (at least in the main triangle) but your bike doesn't look like it has a tubing sticker.

The parts are pretty meaningless in terms of dating the bike. My guess is that this is an earlier version of the 1976 PA 60. The bike in the catalog has a cotterless crank. Your bike has a cottered crank which suggests it is older.
