  • Hi, Completely new to the forum. After having built my first brand new bike over lockdown I've caught the bug but also don't want to commute on my nice bike. I have my dad's old Peugeot Comete that I used to ride to university wrecking it in the process. it doesn't have horizontal dropouts does this make it a no go for a fixed conversion? (whole bike photo is mine, the other photo is one showing the dropout more clearly).

  • I can't remember if the lugs are bonded or welded on these old aluminium Peugeot but regardless, it will 100% explode if you ride it fixed as the BB cluster has not been designed for it.

    Just turn it into a nice singlespeed with a chain tensioner and enjoy it
