Five types of road racing bicycle such as Super PX10, PX10E, PR10, PA10E, and J10 were introduced in this page.
I had checked about the prices with New cycling magazine of those days.
Super PX10 was 250,000 yen;
PX10E was 110,000 yen;
PR10 was 69,000 yen;
PA10E was 56,000 yen;
and J10 was 33,000 yen.
All of the models were equipped with the parts which were familiar to senior cyclists such as Stronglight chain-wheel, Simplex derailleur, Mafac brake.
Frame of superior model was composed of Reynolds 531 Double-butted tube set and black Nervex professional lugs.
My younger brother, who was a student of junior high school in those days, was influenced by my Katakura Silk, had bought J10 as a first sports bicycle and went to mountain pass with me.
