Could someone help me out on what model this is?
I’m quite sure it’s from 1980 (the serial number begins with B0). According to the seller it has been standing in a garage since 1983 so most of the components are probably original. However it’s a 12-speed, while I suppose original PX10’s were 10-speed?
It’s labelled ‘Super Competition’ on the top tube and has a Reynolds 531 frameset, Simplex derailleurs, Stronglight crankset, Weinmann brakes and Maillard hubs.
Looking at the PX10 history website

this makes me think it’s a 1980 PX 10S.
But when I turned to the Dutch catalogue website

I found that it is also very similar to a model called PVN 10, which is also labelled ‘Super Competition’. Has someone heard about this model?
By the way, the bike is too good and beautiful to be kept in a garage. I use it as a nice weather commuter and it’s perfect!
