Love it when they take a part of a sentence out of context, " I never got how the same people can bash a CCM Targa then praise a Peugeot PX-10! when both had the same derailleurs. And that is what the Mechanic would work on." was talking about servicing the bike with the same parts. Not to knock the PX10 off the pedestal that I never understood it is on,I do admit I own one myself. But when it comes to servicing the bike if I want to exchange the Targa with a new crank, sealed BB and latest Crankset, no problem! but find one that comes with French threads. If I was to replace the rear derailleur, no problem, but for the PX10 you need a TAP set and a file. Now that is "Servicing the two". as for sheer beauty & Speed, the Nervex lug PX beats all!
