Bikes: 1959 Capo Modell Campagnolo; 1960 Capo Sieger (2); 1962 Carlton Franco Suisse; 1970 Peugeot UO-8; 1982 Bianchi Campione d'Italia; 1988 Schwinn Project KOM-10;

The decals and serial number are consistent with 1977. I believe the PX-10 still had chrome stays at that point, although that feature disappeared over the next few years. The 25.8mm seat post diameter, presumably with a 28.0mm seat tube outer diameter, would be consistent with straight-gauge Reynolds 531 tubing (or Reynolds 501????), but the PA-10 had straight gauge carbon steel and the PR/PK-10 series had the same double-butted main triangle as the PX series and should take a 26.4 or 26.6mm seat post.
