Peugeot changed decal schemes very frequently, changes in decals, along with component changes, make it easy to narrow down a models year of production to within 2 or 3 years without a serial number. For bikes produced prior to 1979 decal schemes and component date codes are the preferred methods of narrowing.

History of the VIN VINs first existed in 1954, but their length and code values were not yet.

The Peugeot UO 8 was a ten-speed bicycle manufactured by Cycles Peugeot during the 'bike boom' of the 1970s. It was marketed as a mid-range 'racing style' cycle, and was manufactured from sometime in the early 60s^[1] until the end of 1980.^[2] The model was discontinued for the 1981 model year.^[3]

Peugeot Parts Serial Numbers List

Unlike Peugeot's higher-end PX-10, the UO 8 carries a gold 'Tube Special' sticker. Dating a UO-8 manufactured prior to 1979 via the serial number is unreliable at best, though some theories reference the number of digits in the serial and its first digit as indicating the year of manufacture.^[5] For example, the serial number '1234567' has seven digits, and begins with a one. This indicates a 1971 model.
