| 2 60's era PX10's with Inoxydable decal up high followed by Nervex and Reynolds decals. |
| 1974 Px10 with Downtube mounted Reynolds decal. Notice the low placement of Inoxydable decal on seat tube. In the abscence of a Reynolds decal look at the space above the Inoxydable decal. If there's a large space its a 1974 or newer model. |

| Nervex model no. 49/162 bottom bracket shell |
| Nervex model no. 49/162 seat lug |
| Peugeots chrome was often clear coated. If the chrome on your bike looks dull it may be due to the clear coat yellowing or being scratched. |
| While the red frameset appears at first glance to be a PX10 it's not. Look at the middle section of the seat stays and you'll notice a tab. The tab is for mounting a generator and would exclude this frameset from being a PX10. Its more than likely a PX60 |
| If your bike has this style lug, often reffered to as Aztec lugs, its NOT, with 100% certainty, a PX10. |
| Regardless of being French or English the language deosnt matter. U.S. market bikes could have either. |
PX10's blend in amongst a variety of models. To properly identify a PX10 one must look at the bike
as a whole versus looking for a single specific feature like Nervex lugs or chrome on the fork legs
and rear triangle.
PX10's will have a variety of the following features. A PX10 doesnt need to have all of them but a
PX10 should have most of them.
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 beginning in 1958.
Lugwork: Nervex Professional model no. 49/162. Not all PX10's used these lugs but
they are the most desireable!!
Chrome: Lower fork legs and half chormed seat and chain stays
Braze ons: With the exception of a rear derailleur cable stop and a small tab under
the down tube a PX10 should have NO braze ons.
Inoxydable decal: Used through the mid 70's. Found on many models throughout
Peugeots offerings.
Green font: '531' will be green. If its red its NOT a PX10
Diagonal '531: '531' will be diagonal versus straight
Language: it doesnt matter. It could be English or french.
FRAME TUBING
Reynolds 531 throughout including fork legs and rear stays. Bikes produced from
1958 through 1973 have the Reynolds decal on the seat tube. Bikes produced after
1973 have the decal on the down tube by the shift levers. If the bikes is missing its
Reynolds decal but still has its Inoxydable decal a year can still be determined by the
location of the Inoxydable decal. If the Inoxydable decal is up high on the seat tube
near the lug it's a 1973 or older frame. If the Inoxydable decal is lower down on the
seat tube its a 1974 or newer bike.

one. Inoxydable means 'stainless' or 'rust proof'. The tubing itself is NOT
stainless steel.
