P.C., Try this link to a French site which lists many of the early Peugeot catalogs: http://home.wanadoo.nl/peugeotshow/ Most of the early PX-10's I've seen have had Mavic Monthery rims and Normandy Luxe hubs. Peugeot models did vary some from different importers/distributors from what I've been told.
