My new project
I believe it's the Pro10 model. Mid 80's vintage.
Some years of neglect.

Just put new tires and chain on it, took it for a spin, and it's quite operational. Need to get to work cleaning some of the rust off.
I wish I could find the manual for the bike, I know I have it some where....

It does not look like the Pro 10.

What you think it is? I was sure it was one iteration of the X10's.....
THis is a promo photo of the Pro 10....

those bikes look pretty close, but unfortunately i dont know much about peugeot's and cant give you any info. although the bike looks to be in good condition and it shouldnt take much more than a regrease of components to get it ridable. but pictures can be deceiving.
what components are on the bike? is it a matching set? that would probably help identify the bike to someone with a knowledge of these bikes.

It is rideable, but it probably could use new hubs and bearings at least.
It is virtually impossible to find information about Peugeot bicycles on the internet.

Peugeot was good at making their high end and entry level road bikes look similar to the casual observer.
Look closely at the promotional picture of the Pro 10 and compare it to your bike.
Especially the stays and forks.
I suspect yours has stamped rear dropouts and is probably lower end tubing. Depending on the year, I think it is either marked as Carbolite or HLE. Still a fine riding bike, but not an X10 level bike...
An X10 level bike would have forged dropouts, high grade tubing and be significantly lighter than yours is likely to be.
I could be wrong, as I have never owned a Peugeot, but just seeing the pictures doesn't make me think your bike is the same type as the one in the promo.

Ohhhh... you're right. I was taken in by the paint job. The forks and stays never had chrome on them.

From: My response would have been something along the lines of: "Does your bike have computer controlled suspension? Then shut your piehole, this baby is from the future!"
Bikes: to many to list
Every time I consider buying a Peugeot the first thing I look for are chrome stays and forks
no luck yet =(

A mid 80s Peugeot PX10 would have a chrome fork and and chrome dropouts and chainstay. It would have a sticker on the downtube indicating it was made with Reynolds 531 tubing. Mine is such a model.

Which I believe means that it was mfg in March of 85. No other meaningful stamp that I noticed on a quick scan.
there are a couple old stickers that are unreadable anymore.
