Hi, Thanks for the compliments on the bike.

I think the bike is 1982. Have a catalogue scan but the sepc shown is slightly different. The Catologue model doesnt show the chromed fork ends and crowns.

The guy I bought the frame from said it had been in a loft in Belgium since the 80's. The orignal back wheel was trashed. I have the front one which is a Mavic Speciale Sport rim on an old logo Atom hub. I looked for ages to try and find a matching rear but in the end came up with these wheels which are Perrin Maillard hubs laced to New Mavic open pros.
Bike is otherwise oringinal except I changed the Stronglight 104 crank rings for drilled ones as I liked the look of them

I really need to sort out that bar tape/cloth as well its been bugging me for ages!

Additional, seatpost is not original to bike but is a Laprade from another Peugeot (A competition PKN10E)

Original seatpost was chrome

Yes, I am self confessed Peugeot Geek!

I put drilled rings on my Peugeot too as I think they look the nuts and compliment the drilled MAFAC levers.

More likely its an '80 / '81 bike

I agree. Can recall that I wanted to buy this or a Koga Miyata at that time. By the way, the front fork is chromed, which is not the case on the one in the (Dutch) folder.
