Please help wigh my old Peugeot

[hglarsen]

Hello all.. I had this bike for 40 years and I never really gave it much thought until things began to break and some rust began to emerge (after I moved to the coast).... Now I lost all the papers and I am trying to figure out 1) what model this is, 2) what color code the blue is as I need to fix some rust spots.

Its a 12 speed version with built-in computer On the frame I got an embusted serial number WFL 6816 Z and underneath I found an old sticker with several numbers: 3420335 and PH1 0L S60.. I was gifted to me by my grandmother in 1984 for my Confirmation.

PH10L is the model, the long number is the frame number.

Thank you... do you happen to know how best to find a touch up color ?

Great bike I've never seen the built in computer like this before. Even from original colours, fade can occur over time. I often go for nail varnish pots for touch ups. Hundreds of colours available in cheap shops and it's dry in minutes. You can blend a lighter and darker shade to get closer too.

Exactly what I have done. Works great for small applications. I recommend keeping the polish and the area being worked on cool to avoid drying too quick, but I live in Florida so the temps are quite a bit higher than your area, and I do it outdoors 'cause I hate the fumes!

I had a couple Peugeots ('80 touring model, and an '84 entry racer), but none with that stem. I like it; curious as to who the manufacturer was.

It is a Shimano stem from the early eighties. Have a look here:

thank you.. I had a dodgy wire, but I got it fixed... but just in case I bought a functioning replacement from Australia stem and all. I am amazed this computer still works after 40 years.
