A cornerstone of classic French cycle manufacturing, this vintage steel chassis offers a premium foundation for period-correct custom builds. Constructed entirely from double-butted Reynolds 531 lightweight tubing, this specific Peugeot PX10 / PY10 frameset balances structural integrity with a remarkably responsive ride feel, tipping the scales at a total weight of 2930g.
Vintage French Specifications & Compatibility
Equipped with traditional dimensions, this frame incorporates French metric threading standards throughout. The bottom bracket shell requires a 35x100 mm thread, while the steerer tube matches a 25x100 metric headset configuration. The rear dropout spacing is set at 126mm, accommodating classic 5, 6, or early 7-speed freewheel hubs. To ensure historical accuracy during your build, consider pairing this with a period-matching KPRIM Vintage Aluminium Bicycle Handlebar or explore similar geometries with the Peugeot PX10 PY10 Frame (56x56cm, 2920g).
