This is a 1983 Peugeot P8  in Red with White decals. It is a 22.5″ / 57cm / Large (center of bottom bracket to top of seat tube) Internally Brazed  Steel frame with a steel fork. The stand over height is 32″ directly in front of the saddle. 

There are 10 speeds available through the chrome two ring crankset and the Suntour New Winner 5 gear freewheel. 

The rear derailleur is a Suntour 7 and the front is also a Suntour 7. Shifting is through stem mounted Suntour Friction Shifters.

Both wheels are alloy double wall rims drilled for Schrader valves laced to Maillard quick release alloy hubs. Both wheels have Bontrager 27″ x 1 1/4″ black wall tires.

Braking is handled by alloy Peugeot branded Weinmann center pulls. The brake levers are alloy drilled Dia Compe levers with safety levers. 

The black Schwinn saddle is mounted to a chrome seat post that moves freely in the seat tube.

Alloy handlebars are mounted to an alloy stem. The stem is not frozen in the steering tube.

There are eyelets for front and rear fenders and also has a kickstand.

The bicycle rides, turns, stops and shifts through all of the gears and rings as it should.

For those of you who are nostalgic for California, this bicycle has two California Bicycle license stickers at the bottom of the seat tube. Claimed weight of 26.8 lbs.

For less than the price of a generic Bike Shaped Object that anyone might buy online or from a store that sells bicycles in the Toy Department, you could be riding this vintage bicycle with quality components. The fact that it is still rolling down the road is a testament to how well it was built.
