This is definately a 1972 Ken or as definate as you can get with PX-10. 1972 was the first year I think that they used the simpler Dubois pattern lugs. My first PX-10 was a '72 with these lugs. Date coded 3.72 components. I believe the easiest way to date these machines is not by the serial numbers but by date codes on the derailleur. This looks quite original to me. Frame geometry: looks like the classic 72 parallel PX-10 angles to me, too. I wish I could tell you this was really built by Masi but I think she's a classic, lovely and wonderful plain 'ol PX-10 built by Peugeot!
