Peugeot Bordeaux
I own a Peugeot ten speed and am trying to determine the year of the bike, can anyone help? I have been on several Peugeot related web sites and have seen references to several different models, but nothing called a Bordeaux. I believe it dates to the late 1980's but not really sure. What is really frustrating is that I purchased the bike new, but have no paperwork that I can locate. Stopped riding it when I had back problems and subsequently got into running. Since returning to biking, I use the Peugeot on occasion but am more likely found on my Sirrus.
Any help is appreciated |

Any help is appreciated Getting the exact year can be hard but you can narrow it down. Check for date-stamps on the hubs. You can also look for date codes on the derailleurs and check them against this site: http://www.vintage-trek.com/component_dates.htm It's a trek site, but that doesn't matter since both trek and Peugeot used Shimano derailleurs in the time frame we're talking about. Again, this won't give you the exact year of the bike but if you got an original derailleur that was manufactured in '87, you'll know your bike isn't an '86 |

No Bordeaux listed in 1987 1989 is pictured above with 'splash' decals. By default that leaves 1988. |

Tim, no splash decals in '87. What are your serial numbers?

Hey, MiamiJim
Jim, the serial number on the Peugeot Bordeaux is Y90503251, will this help pin the year?
|
Tim, sounds like an '89. Blue was an option!!!

Why am I reviving this thread, you ask? Well, I have what I thought was an '87 Peugeot Bordeaux (ranbow decals, blue paint job, SN starts Y7XX-XXXXX), but miamijim is making me question the year. Based on a few other threads, it sounds like the model year is probably '88 with the frame manufactured in '87. Is that possible/right?
I've owned the thing since '94 when I bought it from a friend (he was the original owner). I know squat about maintaining bikes and didn't ride it for maybe 8 of the 14 years I owned it, so it needs some TLC. I'm planning on using the bike to educate myself about mechanics and maintenance, but could use some advice. I believe all the components are original/stock (sorry, no photos right now). Should I revive/restore 'em, or just replace 'em? Everything's a little rusty (chrome is spotted, frame has a few dings and some surface rust but not much) but functional. Any help/advice appreciated! j |

Any help/advice appreciated! j Odds are its an '88 as there was no Bordeaux in '87. The '89 bike had the 'splash/paint' style decal as shown in the following link" http://cyclespeugeot.com/images/1989_Peugeot_10.jpg In general the first number is the year followed by what I believe to be the month of production Y702 would be Feb. of '87 while Y710 would be November. |

I'd looked at your site pretty thoroughly before posting here, so I'd narrowed it to before '89 and had guessed '87 based on the SN (which I actually think is Y712). Thanks for the reply. j |
I'm back, armed with pictures!

Looks like an '88!! Comparing the pics in post #16 to pics in post #20 you can see the difference in blues.
Tim, does yours still have paper sticker? If it does what are the numbers? jim |

+1. Definitely a 1988. The saddle is an obvious replacement, but so too is the bar tape. The other components appear to be OEM.
Are the other components of decent enough quality that I should put the time into restoring them (as much as possible)? I've got a friend with all the tools, so it would mostly be a time investment. |
