Ayso’s Late ’70s Peugeot UO8

Posted

We’re finally to the end of our lengthy trip through France, and  I couldn’t have planned a better finale if I had tried.  Our final French OTS for Sub-Theme: France is this UO8 which was actually purchased near Annecy, France, and sent to us by Ayso.

An old (I’m guessing 78/79?) Peugeot I picked up for 50 euros from near annecy. Not sure at all of what model this is, but most likely a UO-8? came initially with tubular tires (ie no inner tubes, not sure of the proper english word for it), which were impractical I decided. sadly low funds led me to a cheap choice of wheels, but they hold up.

I do enjoy your website alot. thank you.

Thanks Ayso

    That’s no UO-8. The UO-8 had steel clincher wheels, no derailleur hanger and a steel cottered crank. What you have there is one of the “P” series (P-10, PX10, etc). A nice Reynolds 531 framset and high-end parts.

    Lucky find for 50 Euro!

    Hi, I’ve been trying to find what model this is for ages. I have the same model, on the frame it doesn’t really say it just says 106 or something. These are great bike’s. I’m currently trying to find a new front wheel for mine as someone stole it. Don’t suppose you could email if you know anywhere I can find one. They’re an odd size by today’s standards 26″‘s I think. I can’t remember now I’ve had to put it in storage as I’ve been to busy.
