| Description | The PX-10DU came to fore during the 1981 Tour de France on 26 June 1981 in the team time trial, between Nice and Antibes. But it was truly showcased on 7 July Stage 7, the individual time trial between Nay-Pau ridden by Phil Anderson wearing the Yellow Jersey, the first time ever an Australian had done so. Anderson used the PX-10DU in this and the '82 Tour. The PX-10DU lasted but two seasons with the Peugeot Team, but was sufficiently successful and well-regarded that it prompted Peugeot to go on to develop its own version of the Vitus Carbone 3, the PY-10FC, for the '83 season which became a mainstay of the team for the final three years of its existence as well as the first year of the Z Peugeot Team which replaced it. The PX-10DU was offered only to select Peugeot markets: France (1982-85), Great Britain (1982-5), West Germany (1982-83), Netherlands (1983) and Japan (1982-3) and was the only top of the range Peugeot model of its era not sold in North America. This later model has the Grub Screw type seat post holder and the newer bolder Peugeot Graphics. It marks the first foray into the bikes we know today with Aluminium Frames and Shimano gears, a departure from the traditional Steel framed Campagnolo equipped bikes of the previous decade. |
