This has been a grail bike for me for a long time. I finally found one in my size, it’s in great condition, but not so pristine that I’d be afraid to ride it. I’ve been after this one for several years and my buddy finally let go of it. He bought it off the original owners son.

That's an interesting one! A '70 that still has the earlier fork blades, but has the tighter frame geometry of the revised P13-9, no braze-ons on the top tube, and despite being this late, has both Nervex lugs and pinstriping.

Probably not many quite like this one out there. Fantastic score.

Beautiful! I have a late 1971, also my Holy Grail. I managed to miss out on a lot of them before this one came my way.
