Ken, I am 99.9% sure that is an early 70's PX-10. The lugs are right, the decals are right, and in that era, only the PX-10, at least among models sold in USA, had the half chromed forks AND half chromed stays. Plus the bike has the "Inoxydable" decal at the top of the seattube which was on the PX-10 then. You can also see the outline where the triangular Reynolds 531 decal was at the top of the fork blade.

The bike would have had old style (before Reynolds Tube Co.) 531 DB French language frame decal below the "Inoxydable" on the seattube and the old style French language 531 fork decals on both forks.

REgards,

    Title says it all. It's item 220013851394, the frame looks like a PX-10 or similar, but with a mixed component selection. Has Nervex lugs, claimed to be 531 DB, but no stickers, but also claimed to be original paint! Did Peugeot make bikes with Nervex lugs and Simplex or Huret ends that were not 531, or were not graced with Reynolds decals? Seems odd to me! Ken Freeman, Ann Arbor, MI
