My 1966 PX10 has Type 57 cranks, which have a Stronglight logo in the middle of the crank. The ones on the ebay "1966" PX10 do not. Also I noticed that the derailleurs are different, both front and rear. Mine are white delrin, while the ones on ebay are black. Also, either the later Simplex front derailleurs had done away with the plastic clamp, or he's replaced it with a metal one (no surprise). I think it's later than 1966.

If you've found the picture, do you also wonder what might happen if he downshifted the rear derailleur??? :-(
