For some reason I cant edit my message #33 above.

Adding to my suggestions about mis-identifications, from my observations of eBay and CL listings for PX-10s over the past 10 years, at least 25% of the frames and bikes are PR-10s or some other model! At least 5% are U-08s!

It seems like a lot of people who see a white Peugeot with Stronglight cranks automatically assume that it's a PX-10! Why not? They had Reynolds 531 stickers!

They can be hard to convince otherwise! If wishin made it so...

PR-10 bikes came with Ideale 80 saddles during the early 70's. Again, how many inexperienced folks confuse Ideale 80 saddles with Model 90s? They're both black and leather...

An olde cycling myth (or maybe truth) that I heard in the early 1970s was the reason cycling shorts were traditionally black was to hide the black dye and grease that rubbed off of leather saddles!

The black gunk on pre-treated Ideale 90 saddles never seemed to completely rub off! It got on your hands and clothing anytime you got near the bike!

That was one reason why many Gitane Super Corsa owners switched to Cinelli Unicanitor or Brooks Pro saddles. I certainly did!
