I'm not so sure that this is a PY-10 as it does not have braze-ons for the brake pivot studs nor does it have retro-friction levers or Simplex SLJ derailleurs.
I believe it to be one of the last PX-10LE's as it has late generation Mafac Competiton brakes with normal mountings, standard Simplex Criterium rear derailleur and Super Compettiton front with Criterium shift levers and the Stronglight 105 crankset; all just as the last of the PX-10LE's were spec'd when they arrived here in the states.
I could of course be wrong but feel pretty sure she is not the ultra desireable PY-10; she is still very desireable as the PX-10LE, relative to the PX-10E, was still a pretty rare bike.
She's my size so we know what that means....
