Peugeot UE8 Triple
Greetings,
I ride a souped-up Peugeot UE8 with a Stronglight 99 triple-bis crankset (52/46/36), Simplex SLJ 523 triple front derailleur, and Gipiemme/Simplex SLJ 5500 rear derailleur. The half-step plus ganny is OK, but with the hills in western Pennsylvania I am changing to a 52/42/32 configuration. The 1970s Simplex SLJ 503 triple front derailleur is really nice. It preceded the 1980s 523 that I am using. Good luck.
Cheers,
Tom S.
