What model of Peugeot is this?

[Bassman1985]

Hi everyone. I have had this bike in my possession for a while now which used to belong to my dad. He says he got it new either in or around 1992 and had it refinished in a Jaguar green colour a few years later.

Can anyone tell me what kind of model it is and if it is definitely 1992? It has Shimano RX100 components, Omega R CLB brakes, Cinelli Criterium handlebars. The wheels are Campagnolo Omegas but I believe they were added after purchase. One of the main points that stands out for me in identifying it is the rear brake cable being fed inside the top tube.

I actually just put an order in for a new Specialized Allez at a local shop and started cleaning this one up to sell it. It cleaned up so nicely that I am thinking of keeping it and cancelling my order! It still needs a bit of TLC and maybe a refinish, there are a few spots of rust where the paint has chipped away. What do you think of it? (Apologies for the hipster brick wall shots!)

could be a carbolite with internal lugs . not sure if those had concealed rear brake cable though.

It took me a while to get working links to Flickr, that should be it now.

In case there's any confusion, my dad is still in the land of the living and currently rides a Specialized Venge. I asked him what I should do with his old bike and he said to burn it...i'm sure he was joking but it is for sure that he has no sentimentality towards it!
