My PX10e was purchased, new, from the curmudgeon behind the counter at Wastyn's, in Chicago... in March of '73... so I think it's a '72 model, or thereabouts. It's white, with black, 'plain' lugs. I've always read that the fancy, Nervex lugs were only used on models previous to mine... yet the paint and components on the CDO bike say 'late'. Early frame and late paint and components...?
Also, and it's hard to tell for sure from the pics, but it doesn't appear to have the monumental forward 'swoop' in the fork that mine has... and perhaps a steeper head angle than the laid-back, 72 degrees that mine has... I'm really guessing here, but if true, all of this would also say 'late'.
The obvious answer is a repainted, early frame... with late components... But, Dale says it isn't a repaint. So... what is it...???
