My 2 new PX10's......

First, let me thank John B. (retyred) for his advice on the purchase.

I picked up the pair over the weekend. After searching for well over a year I stumbled upon the CL ad. I say 'stumbled' because I'd perused CL earlier in the week and for some reason, missed then. I called the number and left an E-mail message early in the morning. Within a few hours the owner had responded back and we chatted on the phone. Turns out he was the original owner and they were for he and his wife. We agreed it would be best for him to send me some higher resolution pics so I wouldnt make an 8 hour round trip for nothing.

He sent the pics and I forwarded then to John (retyred). John has bought/sold/trade many older Peugeots and has better grasp on market value than I do.

I made the uneventfull 4 hour to find 2 Peugeot PX-10's in mostly stock condition. The previous owner was a nice guy who takes care of his things. He occasionalt cleaned them and did a little routine maintenace. We chatted for about 15 minutes, I threw them in the back seat and headed home.

With the exception of the tires the 21" is all original. It still has the Mafac tool kit and Ad Hoc pump! So far the only issue I've found is a broken front derailleur. No surprise there.

The 23" is all original but its missing the Brooks saddle and pump.

That was all on Friday. On Saturday I picked up 1988 Peugeot Triathlon that with almost no wear on the rims!!!
