Much appreciated! The fun part is when the price is listed - like the 1973 Peugeot PX 10 for 252.19. Despite inflation, I think you got more for your money then. Looking at the Bicycling magazine road tests from the early '70's brought back some memories of when I would await each issue and read them at school. I like to think I learned more from them than some of the subjects taught! I distinctly remember the Follis 672 - I noticed in the specs it was listed at 21 lbs. and that they had inspected a 19 lb. version. Oh, and the price? 525.00. The tests also can help with a correct restoration or replacing non original parts.
