Peugeot/Ritchey/Roberts - or 'a certain je ne sais quoi' according to the marketing spods - you decide... Would love to do a replica/homage of this steed - anyone got any pointers??

wasn't this like a Grisley sasquatch or something?
Groupo- Campag Olympus, with Look based pedals. I, e looks with a big rubber serrated bottom so you still had some traction upsidedown. .

There was a vid vith gould knocking about in the early 90's that might give you some pointers.
"Twenty-four-gears each innn-deee-vidyoooally indexed" bacame a catch phrase for us at the time :D
 
Peugeot team bikes were originally Roberts White Spiders. Later ones like the above were indeed Grisleys with a 'euro' build.
 
Nice,

I saw Tim's bike at the 1991 Malvern Hills Classic, really bog standard, nothing fancy on it a real racers bike...Fred Salmon's and Nick Craig's bikes were there too and there were other Grisley bikes with some gorgeous paint jobs on them...think I might have a piccie somewhere...

Would make a fab project eh!
