I have bought a new vehicle, a Persian Ivory 1980 Peugeot 103 LVS U3 moped. Top of the line, baby! It could use new seat padding and I think a reed valve; I'll probably save up for a 15mm carburetor. Although as it took two years for me to buy this, don't expect that any time soon. I am considering hand-porting the engine, which should yield some notable gains.
In the meantime: Specs!

I own an identical to your 103. Same color and everything! Mine is also bone stock with the exception of a new CDI, I was having problems with the stock magneto and just ditched it. Sometime soon I will be ditching the gurtner and installing a dellorto 15.15 and new carbon fiber reeds. At that time I'm planning on doing some mild porting and case matching. Mine is one of the prettiest bikes in Boston!
