Hugh,

Although PX-10's were almost exclusively white, I have seen them in the same red and blue that the UO-8 was available in at the time. I owned a blue one and if I recall, Dale Brown had/has a red one. Regarding what year yours may be, best way to tell is by decal scheme and components - info which should be in the archives.

Everyone knows that PX10s are white - it is the only color listed in the catalogs I have seen - except that I have just bought a red bike that purports to be a PX10 - ebay item number 140321017847 . The spec would seem to indicate that it might be a PX10, but I am not sure that the year is 1975 - does anyone have any thoughts on the model and year?

Also, does any listmember know the best / cheapest way of shipping a bike from France to the UK? The vendor is willing to do this but is not sure of the best way. The company I use for shipping from the UK at reasonable rates doesn't give me a good quote for doing it the other way round.
