Hmmm.. by some coincidence my CFX-10 frame arrived today. A sigh of relief. Undamaged. I take it all back UPS. But it's the usual: "Hmmm... it looked better in the photos on eBay" feeling one gets at the onset of The Project . And... less easily solved the advertised "24-inch" frame is really 2 3 1/2" centre to top. But I can live with that. But it's full of character in that unique French way. And should build up into a nice machine.

Who was it who said they found a nail polish match for Peugeot "Pearl White"??

Now to Rich's question about derailleur. The chap was kind enough to include a envelope filled with cool Peugeot brochures c. 1980-81. The PXN-10E "Super Competition" is listed as having a Simplex made PEUGEOT badged (not Spidel) SDX-410TSP rear derailleur. And a Simplex (not Peuge ot branded) SJA 102 front derailleur. It seems to me the rear derailleur ma y be on eBay at the moment.
