Hi All: A friend picked up this Peugeot in Switzerland. I did some research, and I'm thinking it's a 1986 PX-10, with most of the components replaced, but I'd love feedback.

The frame has a Reynolds 501 decal and what look like the mid-80s Shimano 600EX shifters on it.
The serial number on the BB shell is 60475862. The fork has the Peugeot lion stamped on the crown, but I've never seen an all-gold fork like that. I couldn't find any references online to the "Gold Special" decal on the top tube...is this a British/U.S. bike?http://www.my508.com/images/bike-peugeot/velo1.jpg

More likely a PG-10 or PGN-10 with the 501 tubing. A PX-10 would have 531.
