As with everything Peugeot there's an exception to everything. As far back as my catalogs go 'U' is for Utilitarian', I can only guess that in this instance they used a 'U' designation because clinchers were more utilitarian than tubulars. Peugeots used 'N' for clinchers as seen in the late 70's and 80's catalogs. PXN PFN PKN...of note is that these models also had an 'E' suffix. What was different? Just about everything in '78.
