There's a gym chain near me called "Orange", when they opened up they publicized it by chaining orange-painted bikes at various big intersections around town.

How about this otherwise stock Schwinn Continental sporting 10 speed Campy brifters (that surely work correctly operate that derailleur).

You laugh but stranger things might be possible. My back-envelope says that Shimano 10-speeds (which have the shortest pull of all) on a Nuovo Record RD (which has a high ratio, about 2.2) should work on a 5-speed FW (which has the widest spacing). I've no idea what the ratio on that Huret might be, but it's at least within the realm of possibility.

Peugeot Take-Two
Peugeot Super Competition PX10 - $400 (Eugene)
This bike was listed a week ago for $75.
I tried quite hard to buy the bike. The original seller was just odd. Occasionally he would answer an e-mail. I got messages such as "let's meet at noon", but never got an address, meeting location, or phone number from him. I sent him my phone number with most communication, but no calls. I'm pretty sure it was several days, maybe a week before it actually sold.

With the "dork disc" behind the freewheel, I'd bet they are steel wheels.....
