Don,
That sounds like a PSV-10 from 1983, '84 or '85, although a
couple of things have been changed from original specification:
- original brake levers were Weinmann, to match the calipers.
- original pedals were Maillard (I think.)
- original wheels had Maillard hubs/freewheel and Rigida rims.
If the handlebars are original, my recollection is that they
will be Phillipe Franco-Italia or perhaps Frango-Belge, like
the ones we've been discussing recently.
This bike - and the PGN-10, which was similar but not quite
as nice - were two of the greatest bike bargains available in
the early 1980s. At least, that's my opinion. By the way,
does your have eyelets for mounting fenders? Some did,
although the spacing between the chain stays still prohibits
the use of wide tires.
