I bought a really sweet 10 speed Peugeot bicycle a while back at a resale shop for $30. It was in mint condition other than a missing headlight and tire rot. It is a great bike for my wife to cruise around our small town on, and with its' full fenders, OEM generator and lights (except for headlight), and book rack on the back she looks like she is heading down to a French bakery every time she heads down the street.

My guess is the bike is about 20 - 30 years old as my internet research seems to indicate Peugot stopped marketing bikes in the US back in the 80's, but I can't seem to find the model number, all I found was a RY M4 stamped on the frame bottom. It appears to hve two holes where perhaps a serial number plate might have been. I know they used paltes in the 70's. I did find two 7's stamped a bit abart and at diferent angles, so 1977 would be my guess.

I'd like to replace the headlight with an OEM part. I have another one on it now, but I'd rather have an OEM. Does anyone know wht model/yr this might be? It has down tube shifters. It also has mounting brackets for a rather long air pump (I'd like to find one somewhere)

Does anyone know how I could get some Peugeot parts? and how much this bike might be worth? I can't find anything on E-Bay. I wonder if it might a collector's item.

Thanks
