Hank Wirtz said:Captain-
I saw on your site your Peugeot "PX-7" and I have a few questions about it:
1) is that the original color?
Yes. However I did the gold outlining on the lugs myself.
Quoted message said:(it appears to be dark metallic blue)
Not as dark as it looks in the photos though. If you use a Wintel
computer, it probably looks even darker.
Quoted message said:2) any idea what the color would be on an Imron chart?
Nope.
Quoted message said:3) what year is it?
Early '70s. I have another one the same color but a later version
(doesn't have the Nervex lugs)
Quoted message said:I ask because I have a '75 PX-10 (or a PX-15, I guess, since I put on the
triple) that I'd repainted in '87 and put the mid-'80s yellow & orange
Peugeot decals on, but now I'd like a more classic look. It was white
originally, but I'd like to go with blue, and I like the look of yours.
This was a very common Peugeot color back in the day. I used to have a
UO-8 the same shade.
Quoted message said:I got the original decals from Andrew Muzi (he rocks) and got some old 531
decals off ebay, so now it's just a matter of deciding on the color, and
where to get it painted here in the Seattle area (if anybody wants to chime
in with suggestions for that, feel free)
The best would be to send it to CyclArt, if you can afford it...
