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?

Your profile page doesn't seem to have a gallery listed.

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..

The graphics are the same as from this model in 1978, but yours is a lower-end version. I don't find any with pump pegs and generator bracket, but no rear rack mounts. I'd say 1978 is fairly definite, but exact model unknown.

Some kind of Frankenstein bike then >.<
Not sure if I should sink money into this bike or just freshen it up and ride/sell it.
Riding a quality vintage bike is something I really want to try

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.

Ah I hear ya. Pretty sure it is a size 56. Measured from crankcentre to the seatpost. I'll just fix it and enjoy the ride

Does indeed appear to be a 56cm. Quite the seat post though!

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!

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

Definitely so. I have bottom of the line Peugeots made with Carbolite 103 and the earlier “tube spécial allege”, and both are wonderful to ride. The trick is to get nice wheels.

My Carbolite Corbier (P4) model from 1984:
