Yes, Tom.. a great website. And some wonderful digs at Peugeots PX-1 0s. The bike everyone hates 'cause the average 20-year-old aspiring racer could ow n one and win with. Even Eddy who rode one to several victories before, as we all know, it was morphed into a Masi or something with Peugeot paint and, one presumes, crappy lugwork in case someone was nosing around.

But take a look at the photos in this site... seems like more than f ew pix of PX-10s, no doubt "riding and handling like a dog" crossing the finish line with the Italians drafting behind in second or worse place.
>From my estimation, the basic stock PX-10 competed in the Tour de France from 1965 to 1977. Pretty good innings for a "dog".

Looking forward to riding my dog this afternoon in fact...
