Dating a PX10 with missing Serial No. Plate

Maybe just a dumb question, but online sources suggest that the frames built with the "plain" Nervex lugs were made only in 1972, but I see a lot of frames with these lugs suggesting that they may have been used for more than just one year, what say the Pug experts? Todd

pattern widely employed by a number of makers

two well known marques which made extensive use of it were Gitane and Jack Taylor

Not true. Not sure who would say it, but it's not accurate. And there were multiple PX levels, PX10, PX10L, PX10LE, there were some models with N as well, IIRC, etc. Maybe that's why someone would spread inaccurate info, confusing features between models? Dunno.

Best way to date is on components - if the derailleur is still intact, look for date codes on the back of the derailleurs. Or maybe if hubs are original, look for date codes there.
