Peugeot higher end MTB - any love or info ?

[ibbz]

I was wondering whether there are any sites where I can see some Peugeot MTB brochures - would like to see some higher end MTB from the French outfit.

I remember seeing the KL5000 downhill bike but don’t know much about it

But apart from these pictured - I haven’t seen any others of note.
Can any one recognise or identify these ?

Re:

The one in the top picture I have never seen before, the one in the bottom pictures I have: those are of a Peugeot Team Line 1000, of which the frames were also marketed by Easton (REFLEX) and Grisley, see: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=282395&start=10

Also see: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=408866

There's a Website that has all the Peugeot Catalogues on it, mainly for the road bikes, but they show the mtbs as well, I'll see if I can remember....

Peugeot did some nice mtbs, often with a bit of typical French wackyness thrown in. A few years back I had a mid-90's Peugeot Alu-Carbon something something, similar to the Team Line bikes, but alu tubes Bonded into shaped carbon fibre lugs (ie. the opposite way round to what you'd expect!), more muid range I think, but the same frame was specced with XT from what I remember...

The KL5000 downhill bike I saw first in a Sachs Catalogue here on retro bike - I also found a for sale thread somewhere (in french) and the guy described the bike components and some history


“.. You can get it: Old school dh Peugeot downhill mountain bike not found

The carbon one looks very futuristic
