This PX80 has brazing lugs, does it have reynolds steel.
I have a Peugeot Carbolite 103. Its a little on the heavy side but there is no doubt its a strong reliable frame and soon to be set up for gravel.
Any way... NICE BIKE!
Thanks! I did end up changing the bar tape to cloth & shellac for a more "French" look, and posted those results here:
