I own a 1985 Peugeot PX (Columbus SLX and all Mavic components). 100 per cent French (well except the tubing and the Mavic-labelled Modolo brakes!). Totally classic, totally CR List worthy despite falling beyond that cut-off date "thing". She's one of the best riding machines in my admittedly small collection, beautiful finish and the build quality is frankly better than the "classic" Peugeots PX-10s of the 60s. A lot better. Indeed, I think Peugeot reached their pinnacle c. 1981-86. My no. 1 coveted bike remains a 753 tubed 1981ish PY-10P. I paid about $460 for my PX so $250 seems... well a bargain.
