Identify this Peugeot
Hey, I'm new here.
I recently bought this bike which had all its parts removed by the prior owner because I used it as a single speed...
I'm now trying to reassemble it.
Ever since I bought it I've been trying to figure which model it is.
Some say it's a uo-8 but the rear deraliour and stickers differs.
I can't post any pictures, could you please check my profile gallery?

But I suspect maybe you can include a link to a hosted photo or two in your next post.

Looks like the 1988 model UO10 but with a generator mount.
Essentially, you have a UO8 there but with alloy cranks and rims and the remaining gen mount..

Yes, it's an entry-level model, maybe a couple of steps up from the bottom. But, I've found that those older Peugeots are wonderful bikes. My PX-8 model from 1974 is nearly the same as yours, and I've sunk a fair amount of money into it, but absolutely love the ride. Your model, like mine was, is a heavier frame, but a nice all-around riding bike. Putting much money into it, from a future resale value, won't make it worth the cost, but if it's something you're wanting to try and have the funds for, I think you'll love the ride of the bike if it fits you.

peecha assistenza -
Operating the inverted shift lever must be interesting for the rider. We are all familiar with pedal strike. If the cyclist wished to shift to a larger cog amid a left turn they might encounter "shifter strike."
First time encountered this NERVAR chainset in a single plateau configuration. Steel c/w not OEM.

Acke - hope you have lots of fun with this new arrival!
Endilge, mange takk!

Weird. The concept might actually make sense for a top tube mounted shift lever, to reduce the impact of "gonad strike."
