Rare Peugeot PX-10 DU Vintage Bike Restored by Lumini Collections

Lumini Collections is delighted to unveil a rare and beautifully restored Peugeot PX-10 DU vintage bike, a collectible frame that speaks to both cycling heritage and timeless design.

We have recently added to our Vintage bike collection a beautiful Peugeot PX-10 DU

Built with Vitus 979 tubing, this iconic road bike represents one of the most admired constructions of the golden era of performance cycling.

For collectors, design enthusiasts, and vintage bicycle lovers, the Peugeot PX-10 DU is more than just a bike.

It is a piece of sporting history, a showcase of craftsmanship, and a reminder of an era when French bicycle engineering helped define the look and feel of competitive road racing.

A rare vintage Peugeot bicycle with real provenance

The Peugeot PX-10 DU has long held a respected place in the world of vintage road bikes.

Known for its light frame, refined ride quality, and competitive pedigree, it was one of the standout models of its time.

The version restored by Lumini Collections features Vitus 979 tubing, a high-performance steel tubing set celebrated for its strength, responsiveness, and elegant ride characteristics.

This makes the bike especially desirable for collectors seeking an authentic vintage Peugeot road bike with both visual appeal and historical significance.

Bikes like this are increasingly hard to find in restored condition, particularly examples that retain the character and spirit of the original build.

Connected to a landmark moment in Australian cycling

What makes this particular Peugeot PX-10 DU even more compelling is its connection to Australian cycling history.

The same frame type was ridden in the 1980s by Phil Anderson, the pioneering Australian cyclist who became the first non-European to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France.

That achievement marked a major moment in international cycling and helped open the sport to a broader global audience. 

For collectors and enthusiasts, the connection adds another layer of meaning to the bike, linking it to a story of performance, progress, and sporting excellence.
