Friends, I finally finished (well almost, details below) my PX-10. I had been collecting parts for a long time. I actually bought two PX-10's during the "build up" so I would have enough parts to complete the bike. I was lucky to get a bike that was custom-built by Peugeot as part of they "trophy team" program. Unfortunately, the frame didn't fit.

I have been pretty lucky finding bikes ( I think anyways) 'specially when I focus. I figured if I put a little money aside and kept my eyes open it would all fall into place. These bikes are common..

It took a couple of years and a good deal from a BF member at a critical moment with the PERFECT sized to make the whole thing come together. I absolutely love the way it rides. It's different than a smaller frame.

Oh, the detail I forgot (perhaps you will notice others?) was the freewheel. I didn't have an Atom on the shelf an didn't find one till today. The change to aluminum lever housings was so I wouldn't bust the plastic ones. Please enjoy.
