Another Help me identify my Peugeot post!
After much reading "Thanks Bike Forum Members", I'm in the process of restoring what appears to be a Peugeot PX60.
Reasons for my conclusion are the following;
Full Reynolds 531 construction. "16mm seat stays"
Simplex drops-outs.
Braze on generator bracket; which by the way I removed, I hope I don't upset anybody here for that. I really thought it was an after market adaptation.
700C Super Champion clincher rims, with Normandy Competition hubs.
Front carriage rack.
Now my question is whether there are any differences in frame geometries between the PX10 and PX60? If there are changes, that would change the restoration project a bit.
Here you can see the generator bracket, and the bike overall right after I got it.
Frame and Fork ready for Powder Coating. The color is going to be "Anodized Silver", will see how it turns out.
Each tube has Reynolds 531 stamped on.
Here's where the generator bracket was.

Full 531 frame and chrome socks on both ends usually mean it's a PX-10......
But the generator mount, unless added on outside of the factory, means it's something else as you noted so PX60 could be right.....

PX60, specifically 1975 or 1976. Besides the generator tab, it has the Stronglight 99 spec'd on the PX60 versus the 49D of the PX10.

Nice bike! I had a PX 10 and think the PX 60 had longer chainstays than the PX 10. Don't know if frame angles differed.
How's your French and your eyesight? Found my old brochure for this model and I'm posting it here for posterity. Picked this up in France decades ago and should have bought the bike at the time.
