Thanks yes it does look like a PX40 except the chain guard there is in chrome.

The rims are still rigida as well on the back so it makes me think why would they go through the trouble of relacing a wheel just to have it as a single speed bike.

On all the catalogs the first model of bike listed is always a "Routiere" H22 Which basicly means Road bike, but at the same time what we call road bikes maybe not mean that the bike has a drop bar, maybe it just means a basic model that is single speed, I dont know. None of the road bikes with the drop bars are described as "Rouitere" in the Catalog so it just makes me wonder what "Routiere" actually is describing
