I have a very run-of-the-mill 'Peugeot DR10' but after riding it, I really like it.
Actually bought it for the wife from someone in Wellington, NSW for $50. It's a very ordinary DR10 which I assume is probably slightly lower spec than a UO8. Appears to have largely Japanese parts such as Suntour 7 GT derailleurs, Weinmann 'red label' brakes, Sugino (not Stronglight, damnit!) front wheel and cranks, Peugeot handlebar etc. Nothing flash. However by my amateur eye in very original state and no rust. Must be due to the dry clime in inland Wellington. Dated by the decals to about 1978. The previous owner's daughter verified this. She said her late dad hardly rode it.
I am of the 1970s highriser bike generation. Was too old when the BMXs came in, and by 1981 was too preoccupied getting my drivers license to bother about another bike. Consequently when I did get back into bikes in the 1990s and especially in the early 2000s, got a MTB and have been riding it ever since. However when I got on this rather ordinary tourer I absolutely loved the ride.
Notice there's very little info on the Peugeot DR10 anywhere. Am beginning to think it was a model only devised for the Australian market.

Anyone know ..did they stop selling the Peugeots for Madisons? This happened with Raleigh USA I remember reading somewhere, when they wanted to replace English/European parts on Raleighs in the US but were not allowed so they started selling Jap bikes called Centurion which later became Diamond Back.
I have a Madison and a cheap old Peugeot and the Peugeot rides much better.

There are a few DR10 owners around and I notice we all are aware of its lack of identity on Peugeot websites. Would appreciate more info if you do get it.
Thanks

So this will be one of two bikes I'll use as a pathway basher one modern and one retro. It was pretty easy to referbish this bike it only needed the usual cables, tyres "3 sets" bar grips, chain, saddle the original was ugly and NOS brakes and shifters because a dog chewed the original one's and polishing also new grease.
The main features of the bike are the Reynolds 531 frame a Tange fork, Mavic wheels and Shimano LX 500 Groupset.
Enjoy some pic's.
Fitted with NOS Ritchey speed max tyres.
Here it's fitted with 1.4 Michelin wild run'r tyres there quite fast rolling but comfortable.
This is with Michelin Advanced wild run'r tyres a 200gram folding tyre for speed.

Better still if you ever find a Europe Express that was sold in Aust. in the similar condition to mine I'll swap ya.
That was the top model with full XT and oddly a leather springer saddle, the Hurricane was the third model from the top.
Because I can
A lesser model but a great old brochure.

Title is "VINTAGE PEUGEOT RECORD DU MONDE EARLY 1970'S ROAD BIKE. RED. RIDES WELL." It is a large frame. I'd buy it if it was in Sydney. I have no affiliation with the seller.

Just about to start a 40km time-trial, a lone steelie among all the carbon TT bikes. Finished in 1hr 15min, but I do need a new stem as the bolt in this one is had it and I can't stop the bars creeping forward - luckily don't have to brake much in a TT.

Its an exact match to my Hurricane paint job, its also interesting you say its a early 90's model because I was thinking mine was 89 until someone on another forum said the LX groupo first came out in 1990 or 91.
So now we can think of your bike as the road king model and my bike as the dirty bastard child. Thanks for posting and its good to see the Lzoard getting used the way it should.

I'm pretty certain that it's not a PX10 or even a PR10 at best (but still unlikely) it might be a PA10. "Record du Monde" appeared on every Peugeot made during the 1970s is really meaningless.marc2131 wrote:marc2131 wrote:For all you Melbournians - there is a Nervex Professional lugged (maybe PX10?) for sale on ebay located in Malvern East .

It's probably a lowly AO8 or maybe a AU8. $90 sounds about right, I wouldn't go much above that even if I wanted it.

Agree with Hamster.Hamster wrote:I'm pretty certain that it's not a PX10...
Plate dropouts, steel rims and cranks, pump pegs, 27" wheels, and suicide levers. These would all point to something much lower in the food chain, methinks.

It sold for $90 with a single bid. About what a low-end Peugeot in average condition is worth. With an injection of $$$ it will be a very pleasant ride.rkelsen wrote:Agree with Hamster.Hamster wrote:I'm pretty certain that it's not a PX10...
