\r?\n> Time to reorganize my collection. I've had this bike for many years; time for someone else to enjoy her.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> This is a NOS, never ridden, ca. 1975 Peugeot PX-10LE. The LE was one step higher than the desirable but common Peugeot PX-10E that most are familiar with. The differences were a big improvement though:
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Mafac Competition brakes with bronze bushings and versus Mafac Racers with plastic bushings
\r?\n> Atax "Peugeot" stem versus the AVA death stem
\r?\n> Peugeot Trophy large flange hubs (Maillard Pro with Peugeot Sticker) versus Normandy Lux Competition
\r?\n> Tied spokes from the factory (only seen for about 1 year)
\r?\n> Simplex Competition parrallelogram front derailleur versus the pushrod type
\r?\n> Philippe Professional handle bar versus a plain AVA bar - note that the bar, stem brake levers and brake cables were all missing from the bike prior to my purchase so what is on the bike is a correct NOS stem and brake levers along with a highly polished used but flawless BF bar (similar shape as the Philippe Professional) wrapped with Tressostar cloth tape. A set of NOS Mafac white ribbed brake cable housing is also included in the sale.

\r?\n>
\r?\n> Other than the items mentioned above plus tires, this bike is as delivered from the factory including paint & decals. There is one small chip below the front head tube decal, some crazing of paint on the left side front fork crown top and just a few tiny chips near the seat post area. Chrome and decals are perfect.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Doubt there is a nicer one around.
\r?\n>
