For years I have looked for a decent PX-10 at a good price. This spring the bike was found but was only partially complete.
The good approx. 51cm frame white with black nervex professional lug, Reynolds 531 stickers on the forks and seat tube, 1/2 chrome forks and rear stays, unmolested simplex dropouts, late 60's headbadge, checkerboard and colored stripes on seat tube, no dents but paint has chips consistent with age and use. nervex decal andinoxyabile decal,6 digit serial number stamped in and name nervex stamped in
Components: Stronglight 93 crank 45/52 170mm with bottom bracket, Stronglight competition headset , simplex front/rear derailleurs and simplex down tube shifters, cyclo competition freewheel 14,15,17,19,20, lyotard pedals with Christophe toe clips.
The bad: no seat post, no brakes or stem or handlebars. The wheelset was 27x 1 1/4 chrome ukai rims and Schwinn approved Normandy hubs with the simplex quick releases.
I have an old Peugeot UO-8 that was a trash save but the frame was totaled. ie bent frame and fork. This is probably the rare UO-8 that did not have Mafac brakes but it had a Simplex chrome steel seat post wedged in the seat tube.
Plan: I plan to use near new Normandy sport hubs I acquired years ago with 700 alloy clincher rims. I acquired a Pivo stem, and some alloy handlebars. I went to the distant closest bike co-op and found a mafac racer brake and a dural forge brake. I got the Mafac brake levers. But still seem to b short a few small parts like the rear brake bridge bolt(am using a weinmann bolt and hanger for now. I have a Brooks saddle to use for now.
I am in search of the rear cable hanger, mafac rear bridge bolt, 1 mafac straddle hanger, brake lever adjusters and I plan to buy new hoods, and front and rear hanger ferrules. Any help and advice would be appreciated. The spare bottom bracket and crankset went to another poor soul trying to save a Peugeot UO-08

Cool! Good luck on your search for parts. There are some other equivalent parts you can use if you want to get it in riding condition and replace parts as you find them. I believe VO as well as others have center pull parts you described.

IIRC tubulars were stock.

pakman, I've got an orphan rear Mafac Racer brake, complete with the bolt, shoes, and everything, and a Mafac straddle hanger you can have. Then, you'll have a matched set of Mafac's. No rear cable hanger, though. PM me your address and I'll send them to you.

Congrats on the find.

No picture --> it doesn't exist.

Congrats on a great find -- let us know how the rebuild progresses.

I am surprised you had a 14-15-17-19-21 freewheel -- every PX-10 I saw from that vintage had 14-15-17-19-21.
