1960 Peugeot PX10.

Decoding the blue-and-yellow era Peugeot variants is a fascinating exercise - not least finding a paint match if you're forced to do a refinish!

Interesting. So catalogue spec top end in 1957 was still putting 4 speed blocks on. I've had a little meltdown over this.

It's rather odd that the Peugeot came with the Simplex Juy 543 rear mech so called because it could be setup to run 5, 4 or 3 speed but didn't spec a 5 speed freewheel untill 1959. The madness of it all, they were still trying to figure out what to call their top model..PH10, PHX10, PLX10, LX10, PHX10 again or PX10..phew..

Brilliant news...after a revisit to the Peugeot Bike Boom web site there's been an update and the missing 1960 catalogue is now showing. We can now confirm 1960 was the first year of the PX10 model designation and Pugsey is exactly the same specification as shown in the catalogue

It would/should be 1958 (the year of birth of my wife) but strange enough I can not find this one in what catalog so ever.... Strange are the leather bags on the rear, the cantilever Mafac brakes and the dynamo at the front fork.... A lovely bonus were the MAFAC and Rustines stuf in the bags...
