Jon - Looking at the images onPeugeot show (http://www.peugeotshow.com/1980nl/1980nl_32.jpg) andzooming in is a great resource. No PXN10 until 1980; No 'E' until1983. The 1979 PX 10, '80 PXN 10, and '83 PX 10 E specs are all verydifferent from what's listed on Craigs. So, without more photos andmore specific shots of gear & frame, I'd be suspicious - justdoesn't sound in any way original to me at this point. The frames ofall the high end models in the catalogs all look like they have chromedstays -- but the listing shot looks like plain paint. On the other hand, the Peugeot catalogs have so many differentdesignations it's hard to keep track and I suppose a shop could beasked to do a custom configuration, just as we see all the time today. Might be ignorance rather than intentional misleading. But for me ...too many questions and info that just doesn't add up from the listing.
