Wondering if the Peugeotphiles on the list have any info about models of Peugeots other than the venerable PX-10. I picked up a neat little deal yesterday ($40 CDN) that will likely become a fixed gear ride for me, but I'm curious to divine a bit more about what it is and what componentry it would have had on it.
Details: White frame and fork, black lugs, not Nervex Pro, Main tubes 531 DB. Fork half chrome with a chrome top of the crown. No braze-ons except the rear derailleur cable stop. Plate on the bottom of the BB shell has the serial # 2384977. Long simplex DOs without adjuster screws. Lots of small scratches and a bit dirty but good.
Componentry: Lots of parts have been 'upgraded' so what's original and what isn't is my guess. Original: 49D cranks and rings (53/48!), Stronglight HS and BB. Simplex Prestige delrin rear derailleur (seems to have a 72 stamped in the back of the pulley cage). Lyotard pedals. AVA stem (the death stem I assume) and unmarked alloy bars (are these AVAs as well?) New: SR Laprade seatpost, Vetta saddle, Weinmann sidepulls, Shimano Titilus FD, and 600 shifters.
The seller called it a PR-10E(?) and I'm guessing it's from about '72. Is this correct?
Does anyone have any info they can share? Pics or component lists?
Any insight appreciated.
