A cornerstone of classic French cycle racing, this Peugeot PX10 / PY10 fuselage provides a premium platform for vintage restorations and period-correct builds. Constructed entirely from double-butted Reynolds 531 steel tubing, this chassis offers the classic compliance, dampening, and lightweight performance that defined professional racing throughout the golden era of European cycling.

Restoration Technical Notes

To ensure a flawless mechanical build, please note the technical specifics of this frame set. The included fork is non-original, with a steerer tube that measures approximately 5mm longer than the frame head tube. Achieving correct headset preload and eliminating play requires adding one or two washers during assembly. Additionally, the existing finish is prime for restoration, with a full repainting recommended to return this iconic machine to its former glory. The high-resolution product photographs constitute a fundamental component of this technical description.

Compatibility & Period Components

To preserve the historical accuracy of your project, this frame utilizes classic French-threaded standards. For a historically accurate cockpit setup, consider pairing this frame with a vintage steel touring bike handlebar. If you are comparing geometry sizes or require a slightly different fitment, we also have alternative French steel frames in stock, such as this larger Peugeot PY10 Reynolds 531 Frame, which features similar high-end tubing and construction standards.
