Hello All,

I have recently purchased a 1980's Peugeot Raod bike - See attached images - for a restoration project over the summer.
I need some help identifying the model/year etc so i can find out the correct components to fit, and threadings etc for bottom brackets and head sets. I have included a list os the parts i have and brand if this will help at all.

Atax stem
Mafac Brakes
Simplex front and back derailleur
Simplex gear shifter levers
Stamping on rear wheel mounting slot = B20228648 (see image)

Can any one help me to idenify the model/year or adive the likely bottom bracket and head st thread type/size.
I Understant french bike of this age coule be English/french/swith threaded.

Thanks for any help.

Thank you for your help - i have tried to post on the other forum.
I only paid very little for it, so im using it as a learning tool.

Thank you both for your help.

cyclespeugeot.com suggests that the checkers were only used 1979-1983. Unfortunately this doesn't help at all in narrowing down the threading of the BB or head set size. You will find a few more suggestions on that site. The dropout serial number may have been added by a bike shop and doesn't offer any clues.

My first thought was, I hope you didn't pay very much for it, as you can find much better Peugeot frames (with parts, working, minimal rust) for less than £100, without looking very hard.
