NON! NON! NON!

It's a head scratcher?

Looks like an early 70's PX-10 with a PR-10 fork. The crown is cheap stamped steel vs. the Nervex Professional or Dubois crowns on PX-10 forks. The forks on the OP's bike don't look right but it could be an optical illusion...



Disregard the decals, look at the lugs.

About 1972 Peugeot switched from Nervex Professional lugs to Nervex Dubois lugs; reason being was that Nervex discontinued making the Professional lugs about 1969???



But... there were still so many Professional lugs in the pipeline that they were still available for a number of years longer.

Schwinn continued using Nervex Professional lugs on Paramounts for many more years so who knows.

The Peugeot dealer a few block from our shop rattle can spray painted a Huffy or some such thing white, put on a set of PX-10 decals and a Guaranteed Not Built with Reynolds 531 sticker and used it for a shop bike. So PX-10 decals were available from Peugeot back then.



This older Classic Rendezvous website has a lot of info on PX-10s including serial numbers.

Serial number on my 1967 PX-10 - 483675



Serial number on my early 70's PX-10 with Nervex Dubois lugs, 2023688



The OP's serial number 1348684 places it older than my 1972 with a 2023688 serial number???
