I just bought this bike, https://imgur.com/a/vGc5C , I paid 100 euros for it, the guy who I took it from took it as a project and cleaned everything up so I'm happy with how it runs. However, I can not find what model the bike is. Can anyone help me with that ?

Also, I would like to put some brake lever hoods on it, but I am not sure that there is anything to fit these types of levers. What are your thoughts ?

Cheers

    Any markings indicating Reynolds, for example?

    I'd imagine it's a PR10 or a U08

    there is nothing on the frame except this https://imgur.com/a/KGjE5 , which upon searching didn't give any result so I figure it's a marking to keep track of production or something like that

    But isn't that a Reynolds sticker on the seat tube?

    Early 60s I reckon judging by the frame angles / fork rake - if you search Velobase you can probably find the year for the Simplex parts - front mech looks similar to an LJ23 from 1961-63 and Prestige Criterium rear mech. I sold a load of NOS similar Simplex stuff a few years ago. Judging by the lack of named-tubing, quality of parts, pressed not forged drop-outs and frame fittings this is a mid-range, St Etienne's finest mass-produced product, not a high-end model like a PR10
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    If you want to identify which Peugeot bike model belongs to, locate its serial number on the underside of the bike's lower frame. We can begin to identify Peugeot bicycle models from the 1920s. The leading bike model introduced in this decade was the Peugeot P-10. Peugeot used six digits to mark its bikes released in the 1950s and 1960s, some even having seven digits in the late 1970s. As for 1980s bicycles, they have eight digits and an alphanumeric prefix in the serial number. Models introduced in the 50s had PC-10, PH-10, and PLX-10 in their serial numbers.
