Is This A Peugeot PX10?
Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and looking to purchase a bike, that I believe is a Peugeot PX10. I am not allowed to post photos as I am a new user, so I am wondering if I could message or email someone knowledgable who would be willing to help.
Thanks,
Dean

If the rear triangle is chromed it’s more than likely a PX10. Another thing to check for would be a 531 sticker on the fork if decals are still present.

Welcome! To be accurate, you're looking for chrome "socks" on the chainstays and seat stays, along with the fork blades and not full-length chroming on the stays or fork blades.
My old '78.
This might help you determine what it is (or what it is not).

appears to be a U08 from 1971-72 except that it has a dynamo mount boss on the seat stay
more like a UE8 perhaps...
STEM WAY TOO HIGH FOR SAFETY - please do not permit anyone to attempt to ride cycle until stem is lowered!

To potentially get ahead of incoming questions:
It was Peugeot’s entry level model but a fine rider. Many think the frame has a nice enough ride that it’s worth replacing all or many of the heavy steel components that came on them (wheels, crankset, stem, basically everything) with alloy counterparts to make them even nimbler and better feeling. The problem is the cost vs quality. If you don’t have many replacements hanging around for this job it may not be worth putting all that money and frustration into an entry level frame.
Clean it up, ride as is, upgrade as you go if it fits and you like it.

My UO-8 with barcon cables routed between the rack and the cylindrical Bellwether front bag.

Ideal price? Obviously free would be ideal. No, maybe being paid a small nominal fee, to haul it away.
Seriously, the value will depend highly on where you live and the local market conditions. Prices vary substantially between back waters like Dog River and a metropolis like the GTA. So, where do you live, what is the asking price and has the buyer given any indications of regular/recent maintenance? FYI, original MSRP for this would have been around $125-$150 CDN, depending on the exact year.

When I was looking up prices recently, I was a bit surprised to see how little extra it took to get a PX10 over a UO8 in 1970. $20 or so, IIRC.

I'm wondering how many buyers have been told by the seller that they "think" or "were told" the bike being sold is a PX10?
And of course the U08's out-sold the PX10's 20 to one...

If I had a dollar for every time someone thought they had a PX-10 "Record Du Monde" which ended up being at the totally opposite end of the spectrum, I could retire already. Nothing personal, we just field about 20-30 of these a year on BikeForums.
(but nobody's mad about it)Edit: Same advice applies to you as what you'll see in one of the (last?) case a month ago, here: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...t-px-10-a.html

It's not really a good choice for the novice mechanic IMHO.
