As far as I can tell my 1967 PX-10 was all original when I got it in 2008 except for an early 70s Simplex Criterium rear derailleur (date code stamped in the rear cage). Everything else was catalog spec.
It was a true "barn bike" that had been stored in a shed for probably close to 20 years and had about and 1/8" of crud, spider webs and dirt all over it, little or no rust though.
It has Normandy Luxe Competition large flange hubs with gold foil labels and Mavic Championnat du Monde rims. The Mavic labels are the old diamond shaped style. It also has intact Simplex skewers.
