just picked up an all original PX10 LE
This bike is all original including the wheels with mavik rims and mallard 700 hubs, ideal 2001 sadle, french chain, and black cloth tape on the bars. every part matches the catalogue 73. Even has the original tire pump. Cleaning and polishing now. The stronglight crank set was a pain to get off. Had to take the chain ring side off with a 3 prong puller than take the adjustable cup out with the crank arm still on and than use the triple puller to take the cup and arm off together .The nut heads to press the crank back on are 16mm and the socket head needs to be thin walled. does any body have a proper stronglight puller? photos coming in the morning

There's more than one of us with a SL puller, and they are still available.
Waiting on pics, and the tale of its' discovery.

Do you want to know the value or do you wish to share your discovery/ progress?
I think you have a fantastic machine. I see a pretty complete find with lever covers and brake hoods. If you post up on the regular C&V and put your photos up as BB code you will get a lot of interest.

I take it that "catalog 73" was a typo? This looks circa 1976-1978.

yes I am looking for input on how much this could be worth. I did pick it up at auction for $55 as a flip bike but I am kinda realy liking this one. My motobicane grand record with campy drive and dura ace brakes may have to go instead.
yes t I think 73 was a little off. my moto grand is 73. based on looking at this page https://cyclespeugeot.com/ModelID.html I am thinking head tube 70 to 76 and seat tube 74 to 79 makes is 74 75 or 76. the handle bar stem dosent match the photos I have found but I am just sure its original based on comparative condition.

Another look at the head badge. It does look more like the 75 to 79 but mine is a sticker and the photo on the peugeot site it looks like screw holes in the head badge.
