If that much improvement happened in an afternoon - even a very busy afternoon - you are a Master at Rehabbing efficiency.

That's a fine looking bike and it's great finding one with most of the original gear like this one.
I love the 49d crank.
What's the difference between the PA 10 and the PR 10? Was the PA 10 hi tensile steel and the PR 10 531 main tubes?

Thats a nice compliment. Thank you. I love doing it. Just a great afternoon. Got it most of the way done. Just needs a headset adjustment. Will take it out tomorrow for a shakedown.

The PA 10 has forged ends like the PR 10 but a steel Stronglight crankset to the PR 10's 49D. The PR 10 also has 531 main tubes and the PA is fully hi-tensile in frame and forks. Both originally shipped with HF Normandy hubs and tubular tires.

Thanks that's what I thought. And I think the PA 10 is a bit older as well. Interesting, I have a PR 10 that I built up from a frame but did not realize until now that it came with a Stronglight 49d crank. Those are hard to find. I built mine up with a stronglight 99 which is more widely available.

I've had Peugeots before but this is the first classic white one. I'm calling it a PA-10. Not really sure it is. It takes a 26.4 seatpost if that is a tell. Maybe I need to do some investigating to determine what it really is.

Oddly enough there is another thread going which discusses the differences between the PA 10 and PR 10

26.4 is pretty common for French reynolds tubing so maybe a PR 10?

I think it is, actually, a PA 10. It carries the gold cadre allege shield style sticker on the seat tube, has the forged rear dropouts and the Peugeot, crowned hi-tensile fork. The decals and the Nervex lugs indicate a very late 60s or very early 1970s PA 10. The Stronglight 49D and the Weinmann 500s look to be aftermarket upgrades.

Revisiting my PR-10. Thought I had a buyer for the bike, but it didnt work out. Stripped it down to the frame and thought about selling the parts. Then yesterday I thought whatcl the heck I should give it some fresh paint. I actually found a can of gloss enamel that I had used on another Peugeot. I'm not a fan of the appliance white, that Peugeot used, so I toned down the white a bit. Used some black testors on the lugs to sharpen up the "good enough" factory lines. I'm pleased.

A PR-10 or its PKN-10 successor is a great bike. (Been there ... done that.)
A PA-10 is an interesting cross between a PR-10 and a UO-8, but it was a really cool entry level sport bike for those on a tight budget.

I considered a PA-10 in 1971.
the cottered cranks held me back
to replace those would have bumped up the price considerably- so I kept saving.
if I had known that I probably could have found alloy chainrings...
i did not like the plastic shift levers either.

The PR-10 coming together. The BB was a breeze. Super smooth feeling and adjusted easily. Cables, chain, and bar tape, and it will be good to go.
A reminder of what it looked like when I bought it.
