Marc P’s Peugeot P10

Posted

Wow, look at this! Two posts in two days!  Amazing! And equally amazing is today’s selection, courtesy of Marc P, a “pumpkin orange” 1975 Peugeot P10.

Hi.
This is my latest old ten speed.
I got it on ebay for $99 from a guy near me so there wasn’t the added expense of shipping.
It’s completely original right down to the bar tape.
It’s in really good condition.
It’s missing a pump.

Every component is made in France.

Make: Peugeot
Model: P10 (mid range model)
Year: 1975
Brakes, levers and calipers: Mafac “Racer”
Chainring and crank arms: Stronglight (cottered)
Derailleurs, front and rear: Simplex
Dropouts: Simplex
Hubs: Normandy (high flange)
Pedals: Lyotard
Toe clips: Christophe
Rims: Mavic (clinchers)
Stem: Ava
Handelbars: Ava
Saddle: Ideale #80 Record (leather)
Weight: 11.9kg

I love it.
It rides perfectly.
And best of all, it’s bright orange.

Thanks Marc

    Me too. The pics don’t do it justice. It’s so very bright and shiny in the real. Visual candy. I love the little orange bolt covers on the rear derailleur. Nice touch. I don’t mean to sound spoiled, but if only the lugs were chrome! Not sure about the fact that they are black. Looks a bit off to me.

    Maybe the lugs are pure silver and they are just badly tarnished!

    Fantastic Bike. I love the paint and graphics and the chrome tipped fork. Great find!

    Marc P, is this bike for sale now? Considering it’s been three years you’re probably ready to move on and let someone else bask this beauty’s citrus brilliance.
