Greetings,
What you have is a 1980 to 1983 European model bike with a 102 Aerotube frame.
102 Aerotube was a plain carbon steel tubing used on lower end to mid range models. Peugeot had a similar kind of tubing called Carbolite 103.
These were straight gage tubes with probably seamed construction. These were a little thinner walled than some standard tubing but nowhere near as thin and light as premium tubing light Reynolds, Super Vitus or Columbus.
It has nice quality mid range components. European models came with different components so it's hard to pin down the year and model.
It should be a nice riding bike in great condition. |

1982 UK catalogue: 2948 Vigorelli
It came with that flat "streamlined" water bottle. |

Not Vigorelli! Vigorelli came with Camus aero tubing with flat/oval section tubes and grouped Shimano shifter etc. I have two Vigorellis. Dan |

Not a Vigorelli ! I found some decent pictures of a Vigorelli on a French forum: "Tonton Vélo"
So nothing on the 1982 catalogue fits the bill ! |

the vigorelli has squashed tubes that a are thin in the middle and the shift levers were brazed on the top of the down tube and not the sides plus they had internal routed brake cables.and you have eyelets for fenders |
