Koool! A personalized minitroll!
Nope, never wanted something so pedestrian as a PX-10. My third bike in the late 70s was a team issue PY10CP... couldn't resist after seeing that large poster of Bernard Thevenet riding up some col in the TdF on his PY10CP (CP = Course Professional). Custom order that took 10 months to arrive from Peugeot's Prestige Shop. Next was a California Masi and a Confente and then a Peugeot Pro 10 like Stephen Roach and Phil Anderson were riding. First bike? Who could resist a sign in the bike shop window "Full Campagnolo Raleigh Pro $504.00" in the beginning of '76? Second bike was a beautiful panto'd Grandis. All of this I've written about in the list over the years ad nauseam...
Measuring fork rake (offset)??? Straight edge alongside the fork centerline and a ruler (scale) from the edge to the axle center. Couldn't be easier could it?!
