I think someone can overlook the parts that aren't stock. I would get some degreaser like the purple (not green) Simple Green HD product, spray it down, let it soak, brush all the nooks and crannies, get some ultra-fine bronze wool and run it over the chrome bits, take good pics and list it locally. I think $450 to start and offer knocking some off for a no-hassle cash deal. I suspect you'll get it. The condition of the paint and lack of frame rust makes it pretty exceptional, frame is in better shape than nearly every PX10 I've owned. Doesn't even have any crackle.

I also prefer the simple lugs, but I suspect we're in the minority there. My current PX10 is metallic blue and not nearly that condition.
Thanks, I'm leaning more and more this direction. And yeah, the frame is great looking. A lot of the spots in the photos are likely to come out with a good cleaning and aren't actual blemishes.

What in the photos isn't stock? The only thing I question is the campy FD. Anything else?
