1972 Peugeot PR10 55CM

For every project I finish, I seem to get two more. A few have to go, starting with this PR10. I believe it to be from 1972 based on the numbers stamped on the RD. Seems to be completely original according to the 1972 catalog, apart from the rims, which are Rigida (red label) on this bike but call for Mavic in the catalog. *Just noticed: the NDS crank arm is Nervar for some reason. I may be able to source a stronglight prior to sale.* Surface rust spots on the components, but this was a barn find that sat for decades and is unrestored. Paint is great for it's age under some dust and grease, with no dents, just a few minor blemishes. Ideal saddle is in great shape, not stretched, torn, or dried out, though I'd oil it if I were keeping it. Currently rides great, I've put about 20 miles on it. Hubs/BB/HS are smooth, stem and seatpost are not stuck. My plan was to do a full restore, but time is telling me otherwise and I'm tired of the mini heart attack I have when I move bike around it in my storage.

Info
55x55 frame, Reynolds 531 tubing.
Ideal 80 saddle
Simplex Prestige Criterium group
Stronglight 53/46 crankset, Lyotard pedals, Christophe clips
Rigida rims, Normandy hubs, Atom corncob 5-speed FW

Asking $400 + S/H. Prices seem to be all over the place for these, so I dunno. Currently located just north of San Francisco, delivery available to the bay area.

Thanks,
Degan
