Phil,
     Just at the end of the "CR period" Peugeot also made some all aluminum framed bicycles. These appear to be bonded in the same manner as Vitus frames but in fact were friction welded. Alas, they those joints proved to be unreliable, especially in teh lasrger frames sizes.
     I don't recall what sort of parts were on these bicycles but, on second thought, I doubt it could possibly have been Shimano R-100. Were those even available in before 1984?
     Cheers,
