I picked the following bike at a Salvation Army sale.
Identification:
Peugeot carboliite 103 12speed Ser.# Y41' 24179 with a stamped triangle on bottom bracket
Shamino F & R derailers
Shamino shifters Z 401
Nevar crankset
Lyotard pedals
Wiennmen center pull F/R brakes
Maillard heliomatic rear hub, maillard front hub
Decal says made in France
Aluminum 27' rims
Touring handle bars
Color- sparkle blue
Women's or old geezer ( like me!) frame. Any help with build date will be appreciated

I'm married so I can't date Peugoets. :D

According to the serial number it's 1984. Ity's sounds like the derailleurs have been updated.

What's it supposed to have -- Suntour AR?

What TMar said. Lots of things put it around 84. The "Made in France" stickers appeared in 1979 I think; earlier Pugs lack this (at least the ones I have do). The Helio rear wheel places it in that time. I believe 84 is towards the end of carbolite in Peugeot framesets. Original derailleurs were likely Sachs ecos.

Thanks to all for responding. I thought it may be a 71' model. So I shouldn't be in the classic & vintage forum.

whoa there. 1984 was a loooong time ago. I'd think that '84 would qualify for a vintage anything, except maybe a tree or a significant other...

As there is no agreed upon definition to the term vintage, we accept most anything for consideration. 20+ years is the cutoff some use, and this bike falls in that range.

Absolutely belongs here!
helicomatic hubs?
carbolite frame?
sure sounds vintage to me!
