Peugeot assistance

[75 Bronco]

Looking for any information for these two Peugeot bikes. Men’s bike serial number Y0529336. According to the original owner the bikes were a gift directly from Peugeot for work performed. They are supposedly two of only a handful made as a tribute to much older models. Any/all info including value would be appreciated, thank you

Additional info; bikes were given to original owner around 1970

The bikes look like the men's Peugeot Classique VX 40 and the ladies' VX 45.

Here we have the steel wheel braking surface with greek key pattern typical of 1970 -72 , but yet several features that appear quite a bit later than that
(the boots on the dynamo, the hex key fixing bolt kick stand )


see if :

- s/n also appears on White paper tags at the bottom bracket area ( look as though they were typed labels ) and scotch taped over ( or only as in the blue bottom bracket shown in this pic below ) will look pics of a the later style tag s i have somewhere

-the dynamo wiring routing has braze tabs on the underside of the down tube / versus internal routing?


Internal routing would indicate later than 70.s , as do white paper s/n tags as well.

Those puegoet fendersets and lighting arrangements went on into the late 80's at least , and are most often seen with a smaller integrated fender mounted headlight.


( the corporate gifted Bianchi bike I owned also has the dutch style ladies step thru frame, full chain case, drop stand, intergrated caliper lock and the bell was inscribed this was a 1988 and given as year end holiday gift by / among very senior management / board of director level . Came to me via a senior ex pat Diplomat serving here in the Swamp. point being nature of the work done wasn't along the lines of manual or even skilled labor .... certainly a very white collar and pressed )

Bottom bracket does have a paper type serial number. External cable routing.

Pretty bikes, and unusual, too. They do seem to be retro designs, using contemporary parts. They look a bit younger than 1970, though.

The headbadge dates from the '77-'79 period, which jibes with the overall look & feel. The Weinmann brakes should have date codes on them, which will be an indication of the build date, if original to the bike.
