I believe that in my research I learned that no early 70's PX'S had any brazed cable mounts. So either I am incorrect (which is a very good possibility) or I have a UO-8. Although it would have been nice had it turned out to be a PX the bike still rides beautifully whatever the model and at thirty dollars you can't beat the price. Anyway I guess my actual question is can anybody either confirm or dispute my conclusion. Thanks
You're saying that it has a Reynolds decal?

You're right, the only brazed on housing stop on an early 70's PX would be on the chain stay.
