Here's my '71 UO8 that I finished a couple of weeks ago. It was by far the most frustrating bike to work on...until I just accepted the fact that French bikes follow their on path. I found another Peugeot donor for the aluminum crank set, wheels, etc. which eliminated the cotter crank, reduced the weight and improved braking. The ride more than makes up for the frustration.
