I've finally had a crack at putting one of my Ali-express "Road-Links" on the Peugeot, which means I can get a decent gear range out of the Campy Nuovo Record rear derailer that I had lying about. It works really well. Its not an outrageous range, 13-30, but it may go bigger, I haven't tried it yet. I'm pretty sure I saw one shifting to a 42 tooth on Instagram one day, but don't quote me...
My Peugeot is from the 70's so its drop-out is not normally compatible with a Campy derailer, hence the "Road-link" which I would rather hack about with, than the actual frame. I just ground off a bit of the tab with my electric drill and did it up good and tight.
Hopefully it will be a useful addition for Eroica Montalcino.

Are you heading away for a euro race? It's a great solution for an old steed
Eroica Montalcino in Tuscany Joe !
That's pretty interesting. What freewheel/cassette have you got on there? I have a bike with NR that I'd put that on, I'm limited to 28T for now.
I'm pretty sure it was an 11-30 MTB cassette in 8 speed.
It was too wide, so I just took the 11 off. Now its 13-30, but my big ring is a 54 so thats not too bad on the flat. Scroll down for details here Andy.

Thanks, Jeff. I thought that Pug looked familiar, and I have a '71 PX-10 myself. But I saw that post when I was thinking about putting a set of Barlow Pass tires on my Raleigh International: https://flic.kr/p/ESxWs8
I'm running a 7-speed Shimano 13-28 freewheel on the Raleigh and would love to get a little lower given my 42-tooth small ring. Think I'll order one up and play around with it.
I'm not sure what is out there but a 32 or 34 might be options too. I just havent any of them to try... I think.
