Why he's pictured with that piece of **** is beyond me. I assume he was about to throw it out.
I guess he appreciated the PX10 for being a really decent machine in it's day... I know a few ex pro racers and national riders and they all have a thing for really nice bikes. One much older fellow used to ride track professionally and raced against the likes of Reg Harris and his
daily driver is a gorgeous Cinelli model B from the 1960's although he says he won't ever leave it unattended.
Ernst also owns a shop that sells some high end vintage bikes so perhaps this one was or is for sale.
