Peugeot PX-50 (1975) _ serial number & headlight wire

            Typical of 1970s Peugeot bikes, the serial number was stamped on an aluminum plate riveted to the bottom bracket shell.

The headlight wire traveled from inside the stainless steel rear mudguard to the front edge where drops out at the bottom as seen here.  It is then routed forward beneath the down tube with the aid of brazed on metal "wings" which fold over the wire to where it finally leaves the frame to enter the front mudguard on which the headlight is mounted.

Notice the paint damage beneath the rear stays.  Clear evidence of a Pletscher kickstand previously bolted onto the bike. 

The rest of the bike is shockingly clean for a bike this old, and it was when I received it a few years ago.  But that is some original 1975 factory grease which I left caked on the bottom bracket.  Is it dirty or can I excuse this as "Patina"?  It is not seen here underneath the bike, so I'll leave it alone.
