Here's a question about colors in which PX-10s were painted.

Jerry Moos mentioned a PX-10 with Blue Lugs as a fine ride in Pennsylvania.
   In early 1971 my brother shipped his PX-10 to me to use. He was spending some time in Mexico and not able to ride, so loaned/gifted me the bike. (S ubsequently stolen, boo-hoo). It was white, and as I recall the lugs were
   white but outlined in a light blue. I will have to go dig through boxes o f old photos to see if there is a color photo of me on the bike to be sure.
   At that time, the bikes being sold at Collin's Cycle in Eugene, Oregon wer e either white, with black painted lugs, or dark blue, with black painted l ugs. Does the all-white sound credible? I do recall 531 stickers, it did h ave Stronglight cranks, 52/45 and 14/26 gearing (legs were stronger back th en); wheels had sewup tires, and the seat was a Brooks Pro . . .
