I'm thinking UO8, but the top tube cable guides are throwing me off. That and the cantilevered brakes, aluminum cranks, etc...

So, it's a stripped frame that someone stripped all the braze-ons from, then re-decal'd it with whatever they could obtain. Yeah, and as noted already, the presence of the cantilevers.

The bicycle is a Frankenbike mix of mostly Japanese parts. The down tube shift evers are SunTour PDL (Power Shifters). The crankset appears to a Sugino Mighty Compe.The rear derailleur is a 1st generation Shimano 600 or 500. The brake levers look like Dia-Compe/Weinmann. In short, there aren't any components to aid in identification of the bicycle model.
Peugeot did offer "randonneur" models with cantilever brakes into the boom era, though they were rarely imported into North America. It is somewhat reminiscent of a PX50. So, it's not necessarily an owner modified frame, though I wouldn't rule out that possibility.

In my mind, the frame and fork set is worth a hundred dollars. True, the bike is a mismatch of componentry, but the frame/fork set looks to be pretty original. I would pay a $100 for that bike and wish I had the opportunity to do so. It is even my size...

I was lucky enough to find this old Mercier "Gentleman" (my nick name for the bike) several years ago. French, early seventies and featuring canti brakes. Probably the most unusual French bike to come my way and I do like unusual...
As mentioned, I was dumb enough to sell the bike but, happy to say that the new owner did a pretty nice job of street restoring it...

Crankset alone is worth $75 to $100.
