Subject: [CR] PX-10 help


I need a bit of help with my PX-10.

The Stronglight 93 has under the dustcovers what looks like a 17 mm hex head within a 22 mm hole. I have rounded up the 23.35mm JA Strong Stronglight crank extractor, but need to remove the hex headed bolt first and every thin wall socket I can find has at least a 24 mm OD. How on earth would one remove the bolt?

The previous owner removed the Simplex rear derailleur and managed to lose the mounting bolt. Does anyone have one they would sell me?

I am also looking to buy a replacement front derailleur as the plastic portion of the clamp is broken (or just the plastic part of the clamp).

Many thanks to the large group of you who coached me to repair the original paint rather than strip it and start over. You convinced me and that is my plan. Now I need to know how to find compatible paint of the correct color. It seems quite some distance from pure white - almost tan. Some of this color may be due to weathering - correct?

I think only the Inoxidable and Reynolds decals are beyond saving.
