I'm putting together a 1960's Peugeot PX-10 as ridden by Tom Simpson and
Eddy Merckx when they rode for he Peugeot team. I have photos of both of them
riding with bar end shifters, which I would like to put on this bike. I also
have a Simplex demultiplicator to go with these shifters. I looked back at the
CR archives and Google, and there was every opinion as to just what these are
supposed to do and whether they are worth putting on a bike. One person said
they are intended only for tandems.
Would demultiplicators have been around in the years Simpson and Merckx rode
for Peugeot, and would they likely have used them?
Thanks.
