Hi it's been a busy summer and while quite a since I've posted anything. So here is a quick update on the 1958 LX10 restoration project and the progress so far. I used a super fine automotive rubbing compound to clean up the paint, which is shiny once again and also to ensure the original...

Hmmm, looks like it. Thanks for the insight.

Thanks Keith, was hoping that was the case.

Just remembered another question. Can the cottered crank axle be replaced with a square taper axle without changing the cups? Was thinking of a period 49D crankset.

Additional pics of wheels and rear hub. Noticed that rear hub threads are worn down, so not sure if PO tried to put a non french threaded freewheel on the hub. Interesting is the fixed sprocket on the other side of the hub. It all fits in a 120mm. Questions for the experts out there. Should I...

Finally got some time to work on the PHX-10 this weekend. And it is a bit rough. So here are the pics of the bike mostly dismantled. Still have a few items to remove from the frame. Stronglight 45 cranks are rusty as hell, but can hopefully be rechromed. Frame has rear shifter mount brazed on...

Haha, Brooks and a 3x2, sounds about right. Had a b15n on my long gone PX10E and smathered it with saddle soap regularly and it was comfortable as hell and fit perfectly. Appreciate your being a helpful resource vcballbat. BTW my name is Peter. So now once more into the breach with another...

Now all carbon and still not much faster. Must have been a combination of polished steel balls and a properly broken in Brooks. :oops:

Thanks for the detail, much appreciated. Congrats on your 60, I'm sure the result of your restoration will be spectacular. As for what is now positively identified as a 59, the original hub is there, just reversed, so needs a Cyclo Competition freewheel. It has Beborex side pull brakes, Mavic...

Here are some pics of the bike.

Thanks for the reply. I have done some research and the only thing that was close was a 62/63 model for 2,500 Euros list on eBay.fr. Is that derailleur for sale on eBay UK made of platinum? As for the bike it is in original condition, paint is good having been stored in a climate controlled...

Does anyone know how much a 1959 or 60 PX10 would sell for in todays market? Trying to figure out for insurance purposes. Thanks in advance.
