What material is the Peugeot frame, 753? and what groupset?

Before you accuse me of stalking you again I used to work for Madison the importers of Shimano and owners of Ridgeback many years ago.

I don't know, will have a look. 753 steel definately rings a bell though. Cause I know there is a newer steel which is meant to be better, but the 753 is meant to be as good.

Will ask tomorrow, was lent to me by my fiancée's Dad a couple of years ago.

You could also pick up a copy of Cycling Weekly, or better still, just look at the classifieds in the shop, although those ads do tend to overprice the bikes a little!
