Friendly C&V lurkers are standing by.
A PSVN-10 is Vitus 980, Lugged steel, super light, around Reynolds 753 area light. Vitus 979 Is Aluminum.
I have an '82 PSN-10 waiting to be built up, it's scary thin, you can feel the top tube flex between thumb and forefinger.
The O.P.'s bike is Peugeot HLE, it's basic carbon steel. And it's internally brazed.
Neither is bad, I've had several Carbolite 103/HLE bikes, they ride pretty nice.
