Does anyone have a Peugeot A-08?

[Mark Manley]

I am interested as I believe that this is the model I bought in 1976, there are no photos of my bike but I have found a few on the net including in the bright yellow that caught my eye at the time. It ticked all of the boxes, 10 speed, centre pull brakes, suicide brake levers, there was even a chainring cover to keep my flairs safe, I think the only mod I did was to fit Bluemels shortie mudguards.
If anyone has or had one a photo would be appreciated, here is one I found the same colour as mine.

NOTE I have just realised this is very similar to a thread I started a while ago, at least I know something about it now.



And this very nice restomod which looks more like the sort of thing I would ride now.

It was the ruddy cotterpins that did the most damage to flares. One way up and they’re fine, the other way up and they tangle in your flares and rip the bottoms off them.

There’s the English way to put cotters in and the foreign way. But I could never remember which way was best for flares!
