Hello,
I need help from all those Peugeot experts out there in identifying t he model and year of a Peugeot I recently purchased on eBay for what I beli eve was a very good price. Sorry if I bid against any fellow CR list membe rs... I finally found a nice Early 80âs Peugeot in my size.
The bike is labeled Super Competition on the top tube, painted pearl w hite with orange decals and a beautiful fully chromed fork. The frame has Reynolds 531 tubing and forks (not 531c), Simplex dropouts, Nervex lugs, un der BB plastic cable guide, and SN â B1029714. The frame came with the following parts:
Maillard 700 Team Issue Hubs
Mavic clincher Rims, with non-Stainless Steel spokes
Simplex QRs
Maillard freewheel
Stronglight Cranks set
Stronglight BB
Maillard pedals
Campagnolo NR Pat.79 rear and front derailleur (more than likely a replacem ent for Super SLJ derailleurs)
Spidel side pull brakes w/MAFAC pads (I believe these are MAFAC sidepull br akes)
MAFAC levers also marked Spidel on the front of the lever blades
headset marked âRacelightâ that looks a lot like a Strongli ght V4
Atax stem marked Peugeot and Atax bars marked Franco Italia
Simplex seat post
Ideale 2001 saddle
Zefal HP pump
My guess is this bike is from the early 80âs, perhaps an â8 1 PXN? I should have some photos on the wool jersey site as soon as I clea n her up.
Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks, Rich Robinson
