Help Identifying this Peugeot Competition 2000 year

[panascape]

Hi All, I just picked up a Peugeot Competition 2000 but I am battling to identify the year and frame material as the frame material stickers are missing. The components are all original and the SRX cranks have 08/99 stamped into them which means it could be a 99 or later. The 97 model used Vitus GTI tubing and this bike weighs in at 10.4kg which is in the correct weight range. Does anyone perhaps have one of these, with frame material id or know anything about it? Frame is similar to 1998 but front forks (original) do not appear in any of the catalogues.

 

Thanks Robert

Hi Dean, Peugeot themselves did some homework, the frame looks like Tripple butted Vitus used on the 2000 series team bikes and the front fork is the one used that was used on the Richard VirenqueTeam Festina Replica. They think a number of surplus frame and forksets were shipped to SA with group sets and then they were built up here by Chris Willemse using TransX components. Either way this is not an entry level frame and its fork setup is very much for speed, not stability and easy handling.

Thanks, I did ask them but they don't have much info. What I have discovered is the front fork is Dedacciai and I saw another bike today with the same profile tubing and similar front fork, also Dedacciai tubing which is very possible given the age and the fact that Peugeot switched to Dedacciai. What has been confirmed is the sticker instead of a head badge indicates a team-line frame.
