Original Tool Kit; Maintenance Tools; Original Freewheel; Touch-up Paint.



Original Tools:
The Peugeot PX-10 came with a Mafac tool bag and the 4 wrench tools shown. Also included was the Velox tire repair box, and a tire pump.
AT BOTTOM PHOTO.

The ends of three of the tools are tire irons, universal tools as the PX-10 had tubular tires; a Velox tubular tire repair kit ('fil de lin' is what the sew-up thread is called); and, a tire air pump.

Unfortunately, the pump had no attachment points to the bike frame.
Mine got left behind. Shown is the head for the Presta valve pump.

Collected Tools:
A complete set of tools is something I collected over the years. In the attached photo you can find a crank bolt removal tool, necessary to repack the bottom bracket with grease, and then replace the crank bolt.

A gear cluster/ freewheel removal tool. You lock the little cylindrical tool in a vise, then hold the rear wheel over the tool and then turn the wheel by the rim, for mechanical advantage.

Cone wrenches: necessary to repack and adjust the wheel hubs.

A chain rivet removal tool to get the chain off for restoration.

And, of course, an ancient spoke wrench. And, an allen key tool.

Original Freewheel Cluster:
Shown is the original rear Normandy hub with the original freewheel: a Cyclo Competition, Made in France. Cogs are 14/15/17/19/21- very close ratio!
Unfortunately, this came off the bike after the big crash. I haven't been able to separate the freewheel from the hub, because the spokes and rim are cutoff.

Touch-up Paint, (HighlyRecommended):
And some good old modelling Testors paint- ideally suited for touch-up work to your old, badly chipped, scratched, beaten up Reynolds 531 double-butted Peugeot frame.
Available on-line for $20. (approx.)
