[Cranky Chain Cycles]

I need help with the model and year. I’ve searched through the Peugeot catalogs and come up empty. The owner doesn’t have any idea. It has chrome so I know it’s not a cheap one.

I'm betting a transition 1978/79 U09 with stem shifters swapped for downtube.
Hardware matches '79, but paint and decals match '78

Looks like I was in the wrong decade. I assumed mid-80s.

What’s a good price on this? The frame looks in great shape.

bike boom bikes in great shape (ignored but well stored) are not uncommon - $200 +/-
that is the top-line sport/touring bike - the racier U10 has a wider market
A buddy paid $125 for perfect early 80s Miyata-built Univega.

it's still wearing all the kind of stuff the rest of us would have stripped off with heavy riding.

a great frame with 40 years and 40,000 mi (and 3 complete rebuilds)

I’m going back and forth. I love the color but the last Peugeot i worked on, an ‘85 P-something was a chore to find tools and parts for. I promised myself I’d never work on another Peugeot. But...

personally, I would prefer the older bike - however, late-80s should get you to all ISO, (also SunTour) and the older bike will be French, the 85 worse - a mix of French and ISO.
The mid-80s are not at all uncommon - show up at every Frankenbike here, but I like the older paint schemes better.

there's also something special in the ride of older French bikes - they put the low-trail in the fork offset, making it springy, and lighter frame tubing than e.g. Raleigh would use.
That's also a pretty cool Stronglight crank

this is a higher-grade bike, Tad's 21-lb '72 Follis, and I think he sold it, but the ride was so amazing he had to let everyone ride it

Head emblem resembles that of Follis.

Colour scheme is consistent with a stock Follis one.

I got the seller to come down to $160. Would I be crazy to walk away? Seems like a slim margin for resale.
