'PX10-Type' Frames, Decals and Badges

Although it is unclear when the PX10 was first offered, it does appear in Peugeot's 1961-62 literature, but not 1959 literature. The PHX10 is shown in Peugeot's 1959 bicycle brochure.

Below are the PX10 pages from the 1961-62 Cycles Peugeot Catalogue Pieces Detachees Et Accessoires, Velo, published in October, 1962. This is the earliest documentation I have of the familiar shield-shaped decal with the side view of a roaring lion on the seat tube and head tube of a Peugeot.

This is a beautiful example of a 1962 Peugeot PX10, serial number 125107. Many of the components are original. Thanks to André Depetris of France for sharing these photos.

Below are the PX10 pages from the 1963-64 Cycles Peugeot Catalogue de Pieces Detachees Bicyclette, published in October 1964, and the 1966 Cycles Peugeot Pieces Detachees Bicyclette, published in October 1966. The familiar checkerboard pattern and Record du Monde declaration on the seat tube were first used by the Cycles Peugeot racing team in 1963 and available to the public in 1964 according to USA and French literature.

This is a beautiful example of a late 1960's/1970 Peugeot PX10, serial number 835433. Many, but not all of the components are original (e.g., period-correct Suntour derailleurs). The bicycle is fully functional and ridden biweekly. Thanks to Ron Lau for sharing these photos of his brother's PX10.

Below is the PX10 page from the 1972 Cycles Peugeot Catalogue Pieces Detachees Et Accessoires, Bicyclette, published in January 1973. In 1972, the PX10 was offered with only the Nervex DuBois cut lugs, not the Nervex Professional lugs offered previously.

Here is Robert Markwardt's 1972 PX10. Not only does his bicycle closely match the PX10 shown in the 1972 Cycles Peugeot Catalogue Pieces Detachees et Accessoires Bicyclette manual, its serial number is 2477996 and there is a '72' date code on the rear derailleur.
