From the exotic cirque...back to the mundane. I'm not a french bike guy but I had to pick up a pristine lime green Peugeot UO-8, (I think, how can you tell? It's not a PX-10.) at a thrift store the other day just because the paint and decals are so mint.According to the PX-10 database the decals indicate it's from around 1967. Still has the original Hutchinson rubber on it as well. Both Delrin Simplex derailleurs have cracks in the plastic bits.I have another front...but would it be period correct to put a Simplex Brevete on the tail end? I've been unable to find a timeline for the Simplex gears...is the Brevete a nice derailleur? Also the Mafac brakes have no hoods on the levers and they don't say Racer...just that they are made of Dural. Are these a lower end product? So many questions... Thanks.
