Never heard of the Peugeot PX-10. Peugeots just weren't very plentiful in the land of Schwinn and Western States Imports, growing up in the 1970s/1980. I must have been about 10 or 11 in the mid-1970s when my best friend allowed me to see his mom's Schwinn Varsity or World or whatever it was in his garage, and spoke of it in reverent tones. He told me Schwinn was basically the best bike you could buy. Later, visiting the bike shop, the high-end Centurions did it for me. When I started learning more about bikes, any Bianchi in Celeste was "iconic." And I don't even like Bianchis much--but I understood their significance. Even in the mid-1980s, still never heard of the Peugeot. A Cinelli SC was basically unobtanium then, and outside of the Interbike shows, only one bike shop I knew had one--and they weren't about to part with it unless it was for full retail.
