He's tied with my utility bike, which is ridden almost daily.

My PX10 was from '69 and bought in '72-3, but its long gone. RIP. To get a 7 speed on the PX10, he had to send the PW hubs back to PW for a new axle (probably $90 plus shipping unless local shop has tools). He also had to re-space the frame (making sure he dropouts are parallel, probably $60 if he went to a shop) dish the wheels (assuming the rear wasn't disassembled to return the hub $20). All the replacement stuff with freewheel, saddle, brake pads, cables, tape. We're talking an easy $400 to make it a bike that needs another $500 to make it as good as a $400 bike from Bikes Direct.
