^ Very nice pickup on that Peugeot! I saw that posted on the Portland CL last evening and realized it was a PX-10 for a giveaway price. That is a great color; looks like it will clean up very nicely. Those racks alone are worth what you paid for the whole bicycle. Good on you!

SCREAMING deal at $40! I'm saying 1972 - plain Nervex DuBois lugs painted black and the classic comfy geometry only happened that year. Before and after, with those graphics, it's usually Nervex Professional lugs. The PX-10LE also used the plain DuBois lugs, but those were built with much steeper angles and the lugs were left white with gold lining. Nothing is stock on this bike, but it's still metric gauge 531, so if its your size, enjoy! Again, awesome score!

^^ Would that half-step be original, or is that part of the "toured out" mod?

Still have the speedo? The hardware looks very "BITD".

(Snicker) "Inoxydable" (chuckle).....

Low... ri... der... is a real goer

Tx, Stronglight Competition HS is still original but that's it, wish the BB and crank was still there. I'll take the Campy hubs, Superbe brakes, Deerhead RD, Specialized pedals that seem to be pretty hard to come by. I have another recent PX10 that most of the original stuff is there, Simplex cable clips, binder bolt, seatpost, shifters, and derailleurs that don't matter much, Stronglight crank, BB, HS all in good shape so we'll see where this goes.

merziac

Well, it's not original but it's probably a pretty early example Shimano version with a french Sugino BB, no speedo so.....

Also not sure about the fenders, no branding that I can see yet but they are in great shape and look like the real deal of some sort.

Lascauxcaveman 

Yeah, those Expedition pedals are great for fat-footed guys like us. I remember you trying to talk me out of some I posted on an after-the-swap-meet thread, before I even had a chance to try them. Gad you finally found some.

...to pass up. Let us see if it is worth putting parts on. Never heard of it until seeing this frame.

Probably should have walked away on this one but obviously I didn't. Late '81 or early '82 and VERY rough Univega Nuovo Sport, CroMO frame with forged dropouts, I believe it is a Miyata built bike. SN starts with a "J" followed by 6 digits.

Pics?

ESGE Chromoplastic. They were available in black as well as in silver.

SeanBikes

That thing was built for a giant...

merziac

I assumed that's what they were, like I said no branding which they normally have IME and they are more robust than others I have and have seen. very nice fenders.

HPL

Sorry, apparently photos didn't upload properly.

Note: I have gotten a wheelset (Mavic rims, Shimano 600 Tri-color hubs) ready for the Nishiki frame you so generously provided; still need a BB; all other parts are in the parts bin. Still have 2 NC beers left!

Murray Missile 

Why do you say that? It's a 25" frame, I'm a fairly normal 6' 1-1/2" and that's what I ride.

thumpism 

Silver ones had the ESGE screened on the silver (and visible through the clear or smoked plastic) running the length of the rib but the black ones only had a small sticker, as I recall. Still, hard to mess up the ID once you've seen a pair.

I went to a home to pick up a couple of orphaned bikes...asked if there was any other bike related stuff...lady pointed to the box...old stuff nobody wants...Nothing ventured, nothing gained...threw in the truck for later entertainment...lotsa well ridden parts and a couple of nice surprises...a cup of coffee time span envestment...







Oh yeah...there were some wheels and tires...

Nice haul!

billnuke1 

Hmmmmm...
These, too...looks like you can fit these over your SPD pedals and wear regular shoes! Very clever, these Americans!

TriBiker19 

Yes! Shimano also released a "hybrid" pedal a couple years ago with clipless on one side and platform on the other. It's the SPD EH500 model. I use those on my bikes because I like wearing sneakers when I ride with my kids. Thankfully, they're weighted in a way that they will stay in the position you stopped in, which I believe was an issue with the cover ones that you have there.

billnuke1 

Have you tried these?
Has anyone else tried these?

smontanaro 

I haven't tried these specific half clips. I have trimmed plastic toe clips for use on bikes just meant for bopping around. They keep your feet from slipping and assuming you are using single sided pedals, the clips get them to hang right for easy entry when starting from a stop.

brandenjs

Yes, I have them on a couple bikes mainly for new riders who do not want to try clipless, but it still allows for more efficient pedaling. I like em.

merziac

Maybe so, these are wider, thicker and have 1/2in wide raised ridge down the center, very much not the same as the two sets of silver ones with no ridge that I have aside from being Black.
