I bought a Columbus tube Motobecane Champion Team at Ben Olken, Inc. in Cambridge in 1981. It had a French thread Columbus steerer.
The Peugeot in question might very well have been 531 with a Columbus steerer. It would not have been the first I saw. Since I'm neither collector nor archivist, I cannot say for certain what other bikes I saw with full 531 tubesets and Columbus steerers, but they were around in that era.
