All of these have been pictured elsewhere, but if you insist . . . . All are 63cm or 64cm c-t-c.
(Oh, and the frames are vintage, but the stuff hanging on them most definitely is not.)
1967 Paramount
1978 Albert Eisentraut
1982-ish Ron Cooper
1986 De Rosa

I'm assuming you mean the MBK? Just went for a look and mine's almost certainly from 1988. The cranks and brakes certainly are and the third and fourth digit of the serial number are 88.

Sorry, I meant the PR-10 . Turns out I think mine's a later model UO-8 , I just noticed your 531 sticker on the down tube and shallow raked fork. Mine has exactly the same paint scheme and the better Simplex grupo, which was confusing. I in I remember now, the PR-10 was the modelk down from the PX-10, correct?

PY 10 12-speed made to measure fl. 2,090.-
PR 10 10-speed 58, 60, 64 cm fl. 648.-
P 10 10-speed 56, 58, 60 cm fl. 438.-
You can see where the experession 'French fit' comes from. The PR 10 was a great bike in terms of value for money, methinks.

Ah, no problem. The PR 10 is from '76. At that time, there was no PX 10 in the Peugeot racing bike line-up here in Holland, which looked liked this (prices in guilders):
PY 10 12-speed made to measure fl. 2,090.-
PR 10 10-speed 58, 60, 64 cm fl. 648.-
P 10 10-speed 56, 58, 60 cm fl. 438.-

Basically: yes. The purpose is to get more comfort by getting the cockpit higher, i.e. a smaller saddle-to-bar drop. It puts more weight to the rear and lessens the burden on your neck and shoulders. Just the thing if you go long distance riding (as in Paris-Brest-Paris) or if you're just older and less elastic like me.

I'm not sure what you did there, but the attachments don't work for me. The way to show pics is to use the 'Insert Image' function in the editor. You can choose to upload directly from your computer, provided the files are 250kb max, or insert the link to the picture on a picture hosting site, like Flickr. The latter gives the nicest results.

That is a beautiful Taylor there, quite a rarity in such condition.
Thanks for re-posting this photo today!

I think that I would buy this Mossberg in a heartbeat if it were available locally. French fit for me, and would make a good, heavy go-fast for extra training effort/benefit.
Are the shifters supposed to be mounted that low, or is there no clamp-stop on the frame? Is the braze-on for aero levers, number plate or a pump?
Is the frame U.S.-built???
Very cool, I hope you can find a nicer seatpost for this one.

Yes, frame is US built.
I found this in an antique mall and I still need to do a good detail on it, but it's complete and original as far as I can tell, with the exception of the seat. I found a more appropriate seat for sale here on the forum, so when it gets here, I'll switch them out.

Fuji America, 1981
I'm 6'4" and this bike is my largest at 25.25", center to top. Good fit for me. Nice for longer rides but as one BFer I ride with suggested, a bit "truckish" at 24lbs.
.
Its frame is "Fuji 331" (aka Ishiwata 022), all eight tubes. It came to me used in pretty much the condition you see it now. Just needed lubrication, wax on frame, a little work on the Fujita Pro F17 Professional saddle (does this saddle somehow look and have a name that sounds familiar?). It came to me across country from Seattle, $300 including shipping.

BEWARE OF THOSE FRONT FORK .Very easy to break . Just breaking hard tend to bent the lower steerer part . I know that cause I experienced a fork failure with exactly the same size model of this Peugeot .
