So basically I’m just looking for cheap bike I can use to go from a to b and lock it somewhere to leave it for a few hours without worrying it gets stolen (and if it gets stolen it’s a whatever) and I stumbled across this. Pretty sure it’s not actually a Peugeot (?) but that’s not my priority anyway. Would appreciate your take on if the 145€ is justified, if you see something you would worry about and what I should be looking out if I test ride it.

Sounds steep, you could offer the seller like 100 or less if you like it. I would probably get something newer if you just want a hassle free trasher
I have mo idea about market value in your area but I would keep looking. I want something with a frame that will take wider tires for comfort. With a common bottom bracket size and a triple chainring up front. But I have hills where I’m at. Also I’m done with frame mounted shifters. Taking hands off bars to shift is way back in my past.
What makes you think it’s not really a Peugeot? It looks real enough to me.
Looks like a relatively low- mid end Peugeot. Seat, crank and handle bars seem to be replaced too. Should be real though, I don’t see why not. In my market area that price would be not too great, but again that depends where you are like someone else said. If your not in a rush to get a bicycle then I’d wait for something cheaper and possibly nicer to come along.
I’m fairly confident it is legit That’s a late 80s paint job. The rainbow Peugeot colorways are popular here, that would be a nearly $200US bike in my market, if it were cleaned up, ready to ride and listed with good photos.
All the details we can see point to it being a decent frame:
Internally routed brake cable. “Made in France” sticker. Aluminum wheels, cranks and stem. The sticker next to the shifters will pretty much tell the whole story:
Carbolite 103 = Entry level, heavy “Hi Tensile” aka “gas pipe”
HLE = Better, sport grade bike
Reynolds 501 = entry level enthusiast bike
Reynolds 531 = upper level.
Ah, yep, German Market Tourmalet from 1988.
