Bike Boom, I’m definitely stuck there. I bought three new bikes in that time frame: ’69 Varsity, ’71 Super Sport, ’72 PX10 (all sold by the mid seventies). At the time I wanted a Raleigh Pro, a Paramount and a Cinelli. Between 1986 and 1999, I was able to pick up the high-end stuff I had lusted after. Last year I couldn’t stand it any more and replaced the missing Super Sport and PX 10 with three of each (I hate/love eBay). Now the work begins.
It’s hard to say which one is the favorite but I always thought that my original PX10 had some magic in it. The Peugeots I bought recently all have something special in their “feel”.
