It's hard to say. I have an early 1980s PGN-10 (that's the version made from Reynolds 501 rather than 531) and it's Swiss threaded too. Plus, although the steerer has French threading, the inner diameter is 22.2mm. All of this points to a Swiss made bike, but the insignias on the frame said "Made In France".

But I've seen earlier versions of their second-tier frames - i.e. PF-10s - that had British threads. I'm refering to late 1970s bikes. So what does this all mean? I wish I knew... Cheers, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia (USA)
