Would love to hear from anyone who knows about Peugeots.
My best guess is that this frame dates from the late 70’s, when chrome went temporarely out of fashion. It looks like a higher-end model like the PX 10, because of the parts, almost identical to the PY 10 EC http://www.peugeotshow.com/images/1979_3.jpg, except for the (CLB?) brakes (and Campagnolo FD?).
What is obviously missing are the tubing decals, which makes it difficult to tell if it’s a full Reynolds frame or not. The fork crown seems to be a Nervex though, which indicates Reynolds.
This decal design was introduced in 1979, which makes me think that this bike might be one of the first that had them applied, just before brazed-on top tube cable guides became common (also 1979). The Super Compétition decal is unusually placed on the seat stay instead of the top tube.
