Latest find--completely original PX-10!!
Hello friends, I'm very excited to share my latest acquisition and as always I'm eager to hear from all of the Peugeot folks out there. Based on the decals I put this at a 75-78 PX-10, as you can see in the photo's the pedals are stamped with "77" so I'm guessing a 77 or 78. There is nothing stamped on the rear derailleur and there is no serial number on the bottom bracket--not even holes where a plate would have been--so the pedal is all I have to go on. As far as I can tell everything on the bike is original and it's all there--even the frame pump looks right. The paint and chrome are perfect and the decals are in fantastic shape. I am including the 1978 brochure list and as far as I can tell everything is as it should be. Please have a look and let me know your thoughts, I am very excited to find a bike in such great condition and I can't wait to get it back on the road.

Not white was a pleasant surprise. Very cool!

Boy that's a beauty. I hope it fits you like a glove.
The posted spec sheet specifies a Stronglight 105 crank, am I remembering right? But the one that's on there looks like a Model 90 to me
Not that that makes a damn bit of difference. A beauty, as I said. Why do I never find bikes like that?

Also, I had not noticed that the spec sheet lists both the PY-10 CP and the PX-10 LE . The latter IS listed as having a Model 99 crank. So likely that's the one you have, assuming that all the other components align. But the catalog specs often varied from the parts that actually go onto the finished bike.
Again, none of that really matters. Have fun with that thing.
