Still not a PX-10

Vintage Peugeot PX-10 - $400 (mt airy)


Top of the line racing bike from the 1970s. Full Reynolds 531 tubing. Simplex Drop-outs. Original owner had this professionally repainted brown and decals were replaced. Looks great! Large size. Simplex derailleurs and shifters. Stronglight crankset. Normandy luxe competition hubs with fiamme yellow label clincher rims. Mafac brakes. Needs a little work to get it riding.

Just to keep the theme going, this is not a PX-10, it's a PRN-10.  The visual cue are the Stronglight 49d cranks, instead of Stronglight 99's.  And he lets us know they're using Normandy hubs instead of the Maillard's that came on the PX-10.  A new paint job is also always a big red (brown) flag.  I think this is just a case of mistaken identity rather than a malicious sale.  But you're starting to see what I mean with these.
