Pretty sure this will be my Eroica bike when I get some proper wheels made.

From a 1970 Gazelle Tour de l'Avenir that I need to work on. I don't know why this crap didn't catch on.

1973 Steyr Clubman -- plastic derailleurs, but the saddle is rubber
1969 Raleigh Competition -- this one did not come with a rubber saddle
1967 Peugeot PX-10 Super Deluxe -- though they would have been original equipment, I couldn't bring myself to put plastic derailleurs on this one. It does have some nice MAFAC though.

PX10 Restoration
Wanted to get this one back to proper specifications before moving it on. I think I did pretty well.

The bottle cage is excellent, if it's modern, where did you get it?

I have a UO-8, which I built from a bare frame when I worked at a Nishiki/Peugeot dealership.
It has never had Simplex derailleurs, plastic or otherwise -- always some sort of SunTour in back and the same Shimano Titlist in front.
It does have a Mafac front brake and a Peugeot-branded Weinmann rear brake.
