wrt to px_

checked at cr and the earliest one they show is identified as 1962 and a ten; so it sounds like you are spot on. they also have a gallery of a 1966 which shows the white delrin shift levers you fitted to your clubman.

wrt amgen -

they get into my area on sunday. will be fun.

wrt juy gears -

thank you for the photo. do you envision a project you will be using these on? or are they something to put in a "hope chest?"

free beer and food at a bicycle swap meet! I have been to a number of them and have never encountered such a thing. folk in the sacto valley know how to do things right.

It's sometimes hard to find a catalog for the exact year of bike, even a popular bike like a PX10.

I was thinking of using these all-metal Simplex mech's on my Clubman, to replace the ageing, cracking plastic derailers.
First I will have to install a later, non-offset cage, so I can re-fit my ball-bearing pulleys.
Or I may just use a better pair of plastic Simplex mech's.

The bike ride, free tacos and beer was all at Victory Velo, here in Auburn, ...they came through, then the T of C came through!
The bike swap was actually down in Sac'to, the day before, courtesy of The Edible Pedal.
And I bought the Simplex derailers from the proprietor of The Edible Pedal.

Have fun with the T of C passing through! I missed today's time trial because my contractor friend suddenly became available to put up the scaffolding I need to repair my back deck.
