I've owned a few shit Peugeots, the decal on the downtube looks like it's Carbolite 103 (4 or 5 in the image below).
Lite does not mean light. It is their standard gas pipe tubing. But with that frame size, it won't be a problem. It will be those wheels you need to worry about. Look like deep section alu which will likely weight as much as the frame. They hold a ton of inertia so will make it harder for her to set off or go up any incline. Unless of course she's fitter than me which is a very likely scenario.
£150 is about the top end of what you would want to pay for that kind of used Peugeot. Especially if you don't get on with the wheel and end up losing another ton to replace them with something lighter.

thanks, big man, there wasn't enough detail in the photo for me to make out that sticker, so I've asked the seller...
No worries about the wheelset, was going to swap the front out for my dynamo hub, and the two speed rear should be fine for the GF's needs, she's not looking for it to be fast, more of a pootle and cruise kind of thing.
Just don't want it being too heavy for her in her expectant state..

Thanks for this and the seatpost link.
I’m awaiting a response on what tubing was used, as I’m dont need the bike to be heavier than it needs to be.
Also got my eye on a more modern bike, just in case..
