This second-hand PEUGEOT PY10 frameset is a masterclass in classic lightweight steel bicycle engineering. Produced in France, this competition-proven chassis utilizes full Reynolds 531 tubing to achieve an optimal balance between compliance and power transfer. It represents an exceptional foundation for restorers seeking to recreate a period-correct road machine or prepare a high-end entry for classic cycling events like L'Eroica.
Key Technical Features & Geometry
Designed with meticulous attention to detail, this chassis features a 53.5 cm seat tube (measured from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube) paired with a 54 cm top tube (measured center to center). The rear spacing is set at 125.4 mm, aligning perfectly with period-correct multi-speed hubs. Crucially, the bottom bracket shell is machined with a 35x100 "Swiss" thread standard, requiring careful component selection during your build.
To ensure perfect integration with your existing components, you can pair this frame with a compatible classic Vintage Bicycle Seatpost Eroica 26.4 mm D4. If you are aiming for a different size or configuration, we also have the larger Cadre velo PEUGEOT PY10 FULL REYNOLDS 531 2840g 56*55.5cm 124mm BSFF EROICA D2 available in stock.
