I dont have a pic of the head tube with me. It has the "carbolite" "made in France" sticker.
It has a label which says P10 60 + some numbers under that which under the BB.

It has Lyotard pedals and as above, a Maillard freewheel. Simplex gears.

That looks very similar to mine and a UN55 went straight in on mine.

Have you dated it or done your best to? Easiest way is to split one of the Weinmann calipers which will have a year stamp on them. Mine is a 1984 or the brakes were.

The 'carbolite' was used by Peugot in their frame manufacturing so suggests it is a Peugot?

It certainly looks very much like a Peugeot, the method of joining the tubes without lugs was peculiar so going to have a Google. Over BB cables so that's my era

Thanks for that Colin. I am out tonight but will take a look. I would like to be able to put a date to it. The guy I bought it off says he used it to go to college on it. He looked as though he was in his 50's. So late 70's early 80's would be my guess.

What chain do you use?

What chain do you use?

A KMC 8 speed, but I have converted the bike with an mtb triple up front and an 8 speed cassette at the back.

The calipers are Wienmann type 500. On the inside the only marking is 00

What like this, pic is one I've just found online and shows March 1985 ?

What might be best for you is to take your bike / frame off the bike shop for advice on the BB.

I fitted the new axle and new bearings today. It is all back together. I didn't see those markings in the caliper (rear) Ill take the front off tomorrow and see if it is dated.
I also stripped the rear wheel bearings ready to replace and noticed the axle is bent. I have ordered a new one!

Nothing on the front caliper either.
