This is the only known photo of my original Puch Royal X. I believe they were only cataloged in 1976 and used the same frame but less costly parts than the more frequently seen Royal Force. I got mine in 1978, and by the time this photo was taken in '79 I had replaced the stock Normandy Luxe Competition/Weinmann 27-in clinchers with Weyless hubs laced to Mavic Montlhery tubular rims.


And this is the current status of the only 23-in white Royal X I have found for sale after more than 20 years of searching. This bike and its build will get its own thread soon ...
