I bought this over the holiday from a local shop that closed after 50 years. Never ridden, apparently. In remarkable shape with just some shop wear and rotted plastic and tires. Even the gum half hoods are in good shape. I’ll clean up, repack all bearings, put on new rubber and cables/housing, then gingerly start doing some rides.
I found one in my area on eBay, very similar. `71 green in what looks like similar condition. I am very tempted to pull the trigger on it. I’m interested to hear how it rides and if others on this sub have thoughts on restoring Peugeots from this era.

Very nice PX10, build in 1972. All original and in a very rare colour. I have the same in tradtional white colour.

Beautiful bike, i have one in black that I use to commute. The ride is phenomenally comfortable and make for a nice start and end to my day while still being decently quick (considering it’s age).
