From the PX-10 web site c. 1974 - ex. #44931 4 Catalog data - Appears to be the date of the introduction of the PX-10LE, which features plain Nervex lugs outlined in gold. Distinctive equipment includes Maillard 700 high-flange hubs; Cyclo 14-15-17-19-21T freewheel; Allen-key fitted Atax stem w/ Philippe bar; Mafac "Competition" brakes w/ half-hooded levers; and an Ideale 2001 saddle. The PX-10E is also listed. Features included Nervex Pro lugs, black at the head tube; Brooks B-17 or Ideale 90 saddle; the same freewheel as the LE model; Mafac "Racer" brakes; Simplex Criterium rear and Super Competition (parallelogram action) Delrin derailleurs; and otherwise identical components to earlier bikes. Also listed was the UX-10, which was identical to the PX-10E except for its wheels. This model came stock with 27 x 11/4 clincher rims and tires using Schraeder valves. The PR-10L, with plain Nervex lugs (black at the head tube) and a 531 main frame, is distinguished by its un-chromed rear triangle. Stock components included the same brakes and rear derailleur, but a pushrod Simplex Prestige front derailleur, a Stronglight 49D crank set, Normandy Sport high-flange hubs, and other less costly parts. (Note that the 1974 catalog shows both the PX-10E and PX-10LE models as having the rectangular Reynolds decal at the top of the down tube, rather than near the top of the seat tube.)
