@PTL011 That's a beautiful bike, and while the components are not be all original, they are logical choices that fit the organic growth of the bike. I've got a PX-10 from that era, and while mine came to me as a bare frame, I chose very similar derailleurs and Mavic clincher rims. It's still mostly French (Brooks saddle, and I used a Velo Orange crank). I saw someone refer to this as a sympathetic build -- in keeping with the original character of the bike without going all the way to a full restoration. I put a 48-30 crankset on mine, so I guess it's a step closer to being a touring bike (), but with Vittoria Corsa Control tires I think the ride is fantastic.
I have a px10 frameset with a creak in the bottom bracket. A real shame because it feels fabulous but for that.
