Looks to me like a nice machine, and a bit of googling suggests it's a 531 frame and has been known to fetch the order of £300.

Well, I'm only going on what a bit of googling turned up...I'd personally do a bit more homework before heating my feet. But it looks good. Hope it turns out well.

Peugeot used the Competition name for quite a few bikes, does that say 400 down the seat tube?

Peugeot seems to be flavour of the moment, this one came up on my radar

I think it is Reynolds 525, which is still pretty good.

However, I have to say it doesn’t hold a candle to most of Your bikes

I started off looking for winter bikes but found this which may not be suitable but is fab

https://www.leboncoin.fr/velos/1690855766.htm/

Or, since you have a 243 you could get a 233

https://www.leboncoin.fr/velos/1690397100.htm/

However, for winter this would be great with mudguard fittings but I fear it is too big

https://www.leboncoin.fr/velos/1690809152.htm/

Or this in a better size

https://www.leboncoin.fr/velos/1690142353.htm/

and this is mudguard friendly and very nice too

https://www.leboncoin.fr/velos/1689434303.htm/

Just take a van when you go and grab a few

@BalkanExpress - I can see why there are several importers of French-sourced bikes.

Decent value and a resale opportunity in the UK.
