Probably means the cable ends are sticking out from the shifter, instead of sitting in flush. There must be a different cable with a specific end for those shifters so it's housed more cleanly.

Great looking bike and I like it being a tad more upright. Old man friendly!

If you have a bench grinder, you can kind of spin them as you grind down the head to a smaller diameter.

Might be considered heresy, but is there any reason not to drill out the shift levers to a slightly larger seating well so the cable issue is resolved permanently regardless of the cables used? As time goes on "campy" and "simplex" (at least in the vintage sense) will disappear while "shimano" etc may live on.....
I have to admit I have been hesitant myself to do this and usually just sand/grind down the ends to fit but I have been tempted.....

The cable kits I used to buy at WalMart featured smaller ends on the brake and gear cables, fwiw.
I've used a file on many a cable end myself over the years.

Very cool! Looks beautiful. That's my first time seeing that style of script used for Peugeot. And props for using something besides Shimano, Campy or Suntour. I am always intrigued by groups from companies other than the big 3.

I have a PX-10 that I have been meaning to restore, where did you obtain all of decals? Particularly the 531? I used to use turtle wax on the frame and eventually the decals wore off.
Thanks.
Thanks.

What a lovely frame! That paint is probably superior to whatever was original to the bike, too. I just love the way it looks.
I very much like the idea of high end French components as well. I followed that same plan on my Bernard Carre, and do not regret it one bit.
Superb!

Beautiful work!
Do you mind sharing what bar tape you used? I love the effect produced by the contrasting edges.
