> Could P stand for Professional? X for? 10 > for 10 speed? Who knows? The suffix "10" was still used after they went to 12 gears on those bikes. And the UO-8 was a 10 speed, although it may have originally been a 8 speed. But I wonder about the "PX" component of the name. After all, there were PFN-10s, PSV-10s, PGN-10s, etc.

By the way, I don't recall my '82 PSV-10 and '84 PGN-10 having names - neither on the bike nor in the catalogues. Perhaps that differed between countries, different printings of the catalogues and/or various models? Other than "Peugeot" the only script found on my bikes proudly declared "12 Vittesses" (i.e. 12 Speeds). Amitiés, Fred "San Rafaël" Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
