Hello,

I am new to the forums so please go easy on me and some of my questions . I have recently acquired my Mom's 73? Peugeot PX-10, and I am looking into getting it back into prime riding condition. She had this bike since new, and has kept it her pride and joy. She wanted to keep it in the family, but I was never interested in it, until recently.

I have been using a 96 Gary Fisher Tasajara (my first love) for road riding recently, but Wanted a bike better suited for paved riding ( I want to keep my dirt tires on the Tas so I can still hit the river bottoms). My mom offered her Peugeot (she hadn't been on it for 20 years due to a personal injury), and after a brief ride, I can see why she has had it so long. It rides awesome, and only needs a detail cleaning, and some new cables!

Sadly, I have been riding Mountain (or similar posture) bikes for over 20 years, and would like a straight bar setup (while keeping all the stock parts for historical reasons). I read that these bikes have a potentially dangerous head set, and would like to also replace that while I look for some straight bars, and brake levers.

I would appreciate any reasonable suggestions people can offer!
