Beautiful!!!!!!!

Looks awesome! It's super shiny. I think I recall Greg showing me pics of this one - unless he has more than one blue one. I finally found a blue one in my size last year or maybe 2019. Seems ever since I got rid of my other, I always scored ones in the 54-56 range. It was in horrible shape, pic after I bought it below, it's torn down now waiting for rebuild.
Did you need to do any touch-up on the paint? If so, what did you use for a match? I've got some TT cable guide corrosion to deal with ... Just look at what was under the tape!!! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...be972a8a31.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...47a3e39a78.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8b38aee39a.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...b203775bff.jpg |
francophile Those handlebars are in shambles :lol:
And nope, no touch ups, the paint is in extremely good shape and is actually shining even better than my photos are able to show. |
it's a work of art. Beautiful!

I bought it from someone who was re-selling for a friend in the mountains with a much higher sense of its value than it was worth in this condition. They originally wanted $450, but after a month or so, they dropped into the $300 range. Eventually made it to $250 which was at least in the parking lot of the ballpark, so I reached out and we made something happen, but not without a very tough negotiation! All the bearings and races are in good shape, just some nicks and scratches, decals to deal with. It's not high on my list, but it's one of the few complete bikes I kept after my big sell-off last year. |
I am impressed. Well done and you are fortunate to have such a lovely old iconic bike.

Beautiful! You really brought some luster back to the paint. Nice work, and a kind act for your friend! :thumb:

You bargained well I'd say! I got very lucky with Greg's asking price. Also, we learned that he lives nearby the neighborhood my family is from in the Bronx and he remembered my grandpa's old company out there, so it was a nice deal all in all.
I will always have the photos of J.P. Weigle's French Fender Day '18 and '19 when I rode the 75 mile round trip on my PX10! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e2b8e7aecf.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...820120a62e.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...fa13a2442f.jpg |
Blue PX-10s are the best PX-10s
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...b594d5465a.jpg I also moved this on to another BF CVer since I wasn't riding it enough. I do wonder if that was a mistake. |
