Hello,

So it's a PX8M, same frame as an UO8 ("Tube spécial allégé"), the naked frame weight is ~2.5kg, without fork.

And for the modifications

- Sandblasting, zinc coating and powdercoating (Color code is RAL 6005)
- Double walled rims with eyelets (Exal MX19, 622x19mm, 36 holes) laced on original Normandy Hi-flange hubs with DT Swiss 2mm spoke, anti theft skewers
- Tires are Schwalbe Delta Cruiser 700x35c
- Dia Compe 287 levers, brown hoods, original mafacs calipers, tektro cable yokes, full length housing for the rear brake, so the original cable stop were removed before sandblasting and paint
- Simplex Criterium shifters (original was cheap Simplex in plastic)
- Velo-orange 45mm fenders (Stainless), front is fitted with a second stay to hold the headlight
- brev-M saddle (Cheap but really comfy )
- Sakae Ringyo Peugeot branded crankset (48 - 36 tooth, original was 50-40 tooth), Lyotard 136R pedals
- Velo orange threadless bottom bracket (the original was swiss threaded)
- Original headset with new balls (Was in perfect shape), but the locknut come from a worn primax headset
- Cibié vintage headlight (2.4w halogen bulb), Spaninga pixeo XS Tailight (LED, standlight), wire are routed inside the fenders
- Soubitez dynamo for both light
- Soma Crane brass bell
- Simplex rear derailleur, Huret allvit front. But 2nd hand campagnolo Record are on the way (Can't wait )
- Original rear rack
- Deda handlebar tape
- Stainless steel nuts and bolts everywhere it was possible !
