If it weighs 21 lbs, and has pro quality forged Simplex DO's front and rear it must be a high end model. In the early to mid 70's, the PX-10 had half chromed forks and half chromed rear satys. The next model down usually had half chromed forks but painted stays. So if the bike has half chromed stays, it is highly likely it is a PX-10.Regards,Jerry MoosBig Spring, Texas, USA--- On Mon, 8/17/09, Bob Angle <bobangle@cableone.net> wrote:> From: Bob Angle <bobangle@cableone.net>> Subject: [CR] What is my Peugeot?> To: classicrendezvous@bikelist.org> Date: Monday, August 17, 2009, 6:23 PM> I bought a Peugeot from a bike dealer> in So.
