I finally had a chance to test ride and take some pics of my PX-10 650B conversion. It sports Grand Bois Hetre 42mm tires, Rigida 650B rims and Campy NR hubs, Stronglight 99 crankset w/ 45-32 rings, 14-28t SunTour 5-speed rear cluster, Shimano Crane RD and Dura Ace FD, SunTour bar-end shifters w/ Campy hoods, Dia Compe 750 brakes (I needed 710mm reach) w/ Kool Stop Continental pads, Lyotard Berthet pedals w/ Christophe toe clips and V-O sew-your-own leathers, AVA stem, Belleri bars and Mafac levers, Nashbar cork tape w/ lots of shellac, original Simplex seatpost and Ideale 90 saddle. I have a set of hammered alloy fenders, an eBay find from Belgium, but haven't had time to fit them. One advantage of converting this frame is that it's a tad too large for me, so lowering it makes it work fine. A smooth rider so far.
