I agree with Jerry, the rack is an aftermarket Pletcher, a classic accessory, and the original wheels for a PX-10 were the Normandy hubs he has with 700C tubular rims. I recall Mavic Montlery, but I suppose there could have been others as well.

Don't think it is a touring version. I suspect the clincher wheels and rack are not original, though possibly period. BTW, I'm 99% sure the Stronglight crank is NOT model 63 as stated, but the much more common model 93.

wow, the bike is all original, with good paint, and the auction includes MANY extras including just about every tool you would buy to maintain this bike in ~1970 (i.e. stronglight pullers, campag cone wrenches, t-wrench, 3rd hand, cyclo chain tool, even 'Richard's Bicycle Book' (a good 70's book), and the 'Clear Creek Bicycle Book' to get you in that 70's mood ...)
Bike has 27" clinchers and Lyotard 45 pedals, perhaps a touring version of the PX-10 ?? Or maybe not completely original, i'm no PX-10 expert.
Shipping is a semi-reasonable $60 for an iSoldIt type of place ...
