Peugeot Carbolite
Any idea on age of this bike. It is in great condition, look almost new. It has Sachs Huret equipment, but it has no lugs (when did their use finish). Maybe 1984ish? Also on size I am guessing 54cm.

The use of lugs continues to this day on finer steel frames.

I wouldn't trash the Carbolite too much, but its not a high end bike. At the same time, that bike looks like its in pristine shape. And the paint/finish looks original too.
What's the asking price?

Carbolite 103 tubing gets little respect on this forum (there was a thread on the very subject). I had an '85 with 103 and liked it a lot, the 103 tubing was replaced by HLE in 1986, I think. For the exact model and year you need to check the Peugeot catalogs from the era, a search on this Forum or in general will get you there.
