Peugeot px10e - what year - pics included
Hi folks,
I recently built this up and, of course, now I want to know how old it is. The white paper label near the BB reads:
pxn10e60
134****
Is it possible to tell the year of this frame based on this data and these pictures? Also, what is the significance of the "e" in PXN10E60.
I am not the original owner and when I bought the frame the only components that came with it were the headset and BB. Everything else was just taking up space in my basement.
Something tells me that this frame is 30 years old, but I may be wrong.
Thanks in advance for your help!
It rides great.

From the graphics and the braze-ons it could be an 82 or as late as 83.
It's been raining nice racing 80's Peugeots recently. What's going on??!
This one looks to be my size and in superbe condition so I guess I "hate" you!...but then, as always, I would have prefered it with a full French group though....Maybe a Stronglight Spidel group from the early to mid 80's.....I can see it already.....SLJ5500 derailleur set.....Stroglight/Spidel 106 crank......Stronglight /Spidel A9 headset......Stronglight seatpost....and my favorite brakeset of the period, A Mafac/Spidel LS sidepull brakeset.....sigh....

I agree the PXN-10 is 80-83.

Have a look at How Old Is My Bike? and apply some of what you learn there. You should come pretty close to identifying vintage.
Hope this is a help.

What's the serial number that's stamped into the metal under the BB?
As far as I can tell 'e' in Peugeot speak means 'different than'. Different than what? Who knows.
A few pages for reference:

It did not originally have SLJ derailers, just the lowly SX rear and SJA front. The PX10 was no longer the top of the line at that time, so it didn't get the best French parts available. The modern derailers you have on it surely work much better than any Simplex derailer ever made.

...except for a SLJ 6600. Heck, my 5500 is the best shifting RD I've come across. Non-indexed shifting systems are a bit like record players - progressed stopped when the technology itself became obsolete. BTW, the paint scheme on that Peugeot is almost excatly the same as on my 1980 PY-10, except that mine hasn't got the "Brazé ŕ la main" sticker on the top tube.

No Simplex derailer has a slant Parallelogram so they just can't shift as well as modern derailers that all have slant parallelograms. My SLJ 6000 shifts no better than my SX 610's.
