Looks Peugeot-ish from that fork---and "du monde."

That's what I thought, but it doesn't have the Lion anywhere, the headbadge is actually "Champion Du Monde." The missing link is the seat tube decal, virtually gone and unreadable.

More pictures! Since this thread wasn't any good to begin with.

Ask in the classic and vintage forum.

Probably 'G' for Gitane.

And yeah, maybe move this entire thread to C&V. For their opinions. :)

To be clear, I didn't actually buy that bike. I saved it from being thrown away.

I bought a new Champion Du Monde new in 1972. I still have it. It is no relation to any Peugeot, though it was similarly equipped to the UO8.

Remember it is his bike and he's entitled to do what ever he wants to do to it.
