Quality lightweight 10 speed 1972 Peugeot Record Du Monde road bike. White men's bicycle with decent tires and a good seat. Metal pedals with 1 missing the reflectors. As you note in the photos the chain and rear sprockets are not attached so you'll need to do a little maintenance before you hit the road. Both hand braked seem to function. A little TLC and you'll have a real nice bike!
Serial 2372027.
Vinyl wrapped handlebars, approximately 16" side to side. 33" tall at the bar, 37" tall at the seat.
