<< In 1975 the bikes used by the Peugeot team featured a different type of lugs that looked like a "deLuxe" version of the Nervex Pro of which the head tube lugs were chromed. Compared to the normal Nervex pro's they have much longer points. After 1975 they weren't seen on the team bikes any more but remained as an option for the "Prestige Peugeot" series framesets.

I have a frameset from 1977 that is built with these lugs. Have a look at: http://home.wanadoo.nl/peugeotshow/nervex.jpg >>

Oscar! How very interesting! Thanks for that info, you are definitely our Peugeot expert!! I have never seen a Peugeot with these unusual lugs on this side of the Atlantic! Those lugs are particularly fascinating as I have never seen them on another bike either. I wonder if they are in fact Nervex/DuBois made.. Does the Peugeot literature say "Nervex" in this specific reference?

Thanks Dale
