Evening CR'rs,

As promised, I have completed the PX-10, and now it's for sale! I have made several upgrades (IMO) to the original equipment and have added some NOS and NEW parts. Here are the details: 1974 sn: 2782998; DuBois Lugs; 58cm (c-t); 57cm (tt); 72o/74o (st/ht); White (of course?); ** = NOS/NEW part.

Headset: Stronglight V4 Competition Stem: TTT Record/95mm (replaced the AVA) Bars: TTT Merckx/43cm (replaced the AVA!!) Tape: Velox - Black** - with Velox Plugs** Post: Simplex** Saddle: Ideale 2002** Rims: Super Champion Medaille d'Or** Spokes: DT (15ga/with washers)** Lacing: Rear (4x/2x) Front: 3x Hubs: Campy NR (high flange) - (replaced the Normandy Comps) FW: Cyclo Competition (14-21) Tires: Wolber Classic 290** Brakes: Universal 68 (new hoods & new pads) - (replaced the Mafac Racers) Der (F): Campy NR (front) - (replaced the Simplex Prestige/delrin) Der (R): Simplex Prestige SLJ 5500 Alloy** - (replaced the Delrin Prestige) Shifters: Campy NR - (replaced the Simplex/delrin) Crank: Stronglight 93 (52x45) BB: Stronglight Pedals: Lyotard (alloy) - New Christophe Clips & Straps (black) Chain: Regina Corsa** Pump: Silca Impero (white)

I have done a complete overhaul (new bearings; cables; white housing). I will also include a new French 531 decal set!!

I have not glued the tires as yet, and have therefore not ridden the bike, but it looks pretty nice, and suspect it will ride as nice as it looks! I don't have digital capability, but did take "old fashioned" optical photos, and will have them developed tomorrow, so I will be able to send you pictures within a couple of days.

$650 plus shipping.........and I'm not going to eBay since I don't do digitals (and besides, I don't think I would want the hassle, as I suspect the interest would be pretty high). The bike needs nothing, just a "loving owner"!!

E-mail me off list for any additional info, etc............

Thanks.
