I've gotten the bug to build a randonneur-style bike and was wondering which would serve me better, a '72 PX-10 or a '74 Raleigh International. With limited storage right now, procuring an additional bike is problematic, so I've got to make do with what I've got. I'm leaning towards the PX-10 right now since, well, it's French. Plus, it's ridden the least. Only problem I can see is the French size stuff if I ever have a mechanical, but being south of 150 lbs, I'm pretty easy on equipment. What do you all think?
