Peugeot tube metal
Thanks to all who helped me date my "MIXTIE" frame peugeot.
I have a question about tube material. The decal on the seat post upright reads: Tube Special Carbolite 103 By Peugeot France The serial # Y41' 24179 ( these are 2 seperate stampings on BB.) From previous threads Y=Renyolds 531SL SL=A lighter version than venerable tube set Total bike weight 30 lbs. Carbolite 103 or Renyolds 531? Thanks |

A "Y" in the model number designates Reynolds 531SL tubing. For instance, the model PY10 used Reynolds 531SL. A "Y" in the serial number has nothing to do with the tubing type. However, the serial number does tell us that the frame was manufactured in 1984. Carbolite was the hi-tensile steel developed to permit lugless, internal brazing and used in Peugeot's entry level models during the early 1980s.
