Peugeot Aneto 501- L'Eroica ?

[Littlesox]

Can anybody help me by throwing some light on the suitability of a Peugeot 501 Aneto for next year's event ?

Peugeot frame numbers are a nightmare.

I have traced the Aneto to a 1988 catalogue scan, but don't seem to be be able to confirm whether it was in production before this.

Help !

There's no scrutineering at L'eroica - as long as the bike has downtube shifters, non-aero brake levers and pedals with toeclips and straps, consider yourself qualified to ride.

Yes - I've always assumed Anetos with 501 and 531 tubes to be '88. it appears in the '88 UK catalogue, but I've not managed to dig up an '87 UK catalogue. Also I think Anetos were a UK only model (although I please correct me if you've better information).

Do you know this site?

Where it seems that the decals as on Aneto's are used from 1984 till 1988.
In my experience peugeot frames are often build quit a time before the types are on the market yet.
