This did not sell on list so I put her up on eBay; auction ends tomorrow evening.

Here is the auction number and description:

eBay item #: 120525218301 or search under seller "tr4play"
> 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:
> Mafac Competition brakes with bronze bushings and versus Mafac Racers with plastic bushings
> Atax "Peugeot" stem versus the AVA death stem
> Peugeot Trophy large flange hubs (Maillard Pro with Peugeot Sticker) versus Normandy Lux Competition
> Tied spokes from the factory (only seen for about 1 year)
> Simplex Competition parrallelogram front derailleur versus the pushrod type
> 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.
