Jim: I think your logic is sound, but what about the chrome (or lack thereof) on the rear triangle? That braze-on I asked Neal about halfway up the chainstay is pretty ugly (even for Peugeot) - do you think someone repaired it and decided to paint the triangle after, covering up the chrome? It is supposed to be there (shows up on the PLX50 and PLX55), but seems pretty "blobby" in Neal's photos....
