Nice rig, but there are a few problems.

For sure the ''PEDALS!'' are low end. Crankset I would think should have been # 93, this crankset looks to be a # 106 or other with # 105 rings?........................But the forks I question because I've never seen a PX10 of this vintage with forks without Reynolds 531 stickers. Instead it has a sticker that is normally found on a lower end model. Also I don't think the hubs are period correct. Black rims, gold would have looked a lot better.........................Just my nickles worth!

On German ebay a few very nice and period correct Peugeots sold for a sing and a song! Problem, they didn't want to ship out of the country. And there was a pink Mercier as well, decked out with Campagnolo, same deal with this puppy.

OH WELL!

You can keep this Peugeot all together, but it is (Sacre Bleu!) black instead of the proper white or rose blush. Also, it's an all Reynolds bike, but the rear stays aren't 1/2 chrome. Again also, beware of the notorious Helicomatic rear hub.
