Dear PX10 threaders, I think that we are approaching the right moment to turn our attention to the D/T shift levers on PX10's. As far as I can see from photos, the late 60's PX10's had the same levers as those used in the early-mid 70's. Is this correct? I think that the earlier chrome clamp band had a dome where the simplex logo is (at the top of the clamp band, between the levers). The later style had two points and the letter "S" in the centre of a star shaped circle. Are there any experts out there? I notice that Tom Simpson had a PX10 with what look like plastic levers in 1965. Sorry to get everyone going again!! All the best, Peter Rogers
