Peugeot ID
Hi - bought this peugeot a few years back from someone whose father had recently passed away. His father had bought it new. Trying to find out what year and model and how original. The cranks look like replacements? Any help appreciated.

hello shop and welcome to the forum!
good job with the photos
cycle appears to be model A08 from the mid-1970's
the wheel rim is marked with a date of 1975
you may also find a date marking on the backside of the machine's Simplex Prestige model 637 rear derailleur
in addition to the chainset the bicycle's pedals and front gear mech have also been changed

1970s AO8, for sure.
Leading "1" in the serial number would presumably indicate 1971, if Peugeot had been consistent in serial numbering. (At least it is 7 digits long, consistent with 1970s decade.) However, the decals look like ca. 1975, which is consistent with the dating on the rims, mentioned earlier in this thread. Wheels are very likely original, with nuts replacing the original easily damaged (or stolen -- been there ... done that) wingnuts. Are the cranks mismatched? I am not sure when Peugeot switched from cottered steel to aluminum cranks on the lower-level road bikes.

Because the bike does not have chrome fork socks, I would suggest that it is a UO6, not a UO8. This is a UO8 that I found at the dump many years ago. It now lives in Australia...

The rims are dated 1975 which would also align with the plastic headbadge. I would say 1975/6 AO8 ; and yes the crank is a replacement.
edit: This is a picture from the 1977 catalog (hosted on bikeboompeugeot.com) which is extremely close so could be as late as 1977, but I would say earlier due to the downtube shifters and plastic rear derailleur.

We can always count on T-Mar to sort things out. This forum is always an education.

Canada Post wanted over $50 to ship this Bianchi fork to Australia. They promised, or at least suggested, that it would be delivered with-in 90 days (three months). The buyer cancelled his purchase. I can understand why...

Hello @shop,
welcome to the forum.
There is a date code on the bottom bracket, RY B5.
The RY = Romilly factory in France,
B = month 2 or February,
5 = 1975 the year of frame manufacture.
