Did you ever wish that you had the original owner's manual for that old appliance, tool or vintage bike (or in my case, instrument or equipment)? I just posted on my http://retropeugeot.com/ website a 1974 Peugeot Owner's Manual (generic for all models that year) that I picked-up for a couple of dollars on EBay. Very useful for maintenance or adjusment of early to mid-1970's pugs. Enjoy!

Ok, now I'm totally confused...easily done. According to the pics in this manual the PX-10 had Nervex lugs as late as 74. I have a "plain" lug px-10 and thought I had narrowed it down to 72-73ish. Did they bring the Nervex lugs back, or could this just be an old picture, or did the plain lugs come late on?

I am no expert, but perhaps the manual is confusing and inconsistent with your research is because it appears to be 'generic' for English, German and French-speaking countries (i.e., international). The components on Peugeots may vary from country to country. Hopefully we will get more informed opinions here.

" According to the pics in this manual the PX-10 had Nervex lugs as late as 74. I have a "plain" lug px-10 and thought I had narrowed it down to 72-73ish. "

Post 1971, the Nervex lugs were on the PX10e, the plain lugs on the regular PX. This continued until about 1974. About that time, Peugeot set up a custom workshop next to the factory (producing I believe special orders, team bikes-- prior to that they were stock-- and Trackies) and Nervex lugs were sometimes placed on bikes produced there. So it is possible to find a Nervex lugged bike produced later than 1972. In fact, I own one.
