I took the parts off a Peugeot Course and put them on a PY-10 frame to make a great beater/commuter bike. If Peugeot had put a 531 db main tube frame on the Course it would have sold very nicely but the French bike industry was already in serious trouble in the US market by that time.
The Course had English threads though so I had to scrounge a French headset and BB,
