if the wheels are 700c then you should be ok.
the peugeot rear hub spacing is 126mm, you may have to spring it out for a 130mm hub..carbon forks:
you need some with a 1" steerer and will have to change the headset.

the ebay guy told me they were 120mm

what axle width does your CC rear wheel have?

on the subject of canine and feline dying...
has anyone (god forbid) taken their bikes on the tube??
2 reason for asking...
1) just got wifey a bike...and she wants to go for a ride at Richmond park... and there is no way she will make it there...
2) few months ago i had a badish accident... the fxxking bastard came out of no where and i went over his car...(and drove off...) anyway the front wheel was bustard and try to get on a bus to go to work (A&E) and the bus driver gave me the finger... and drove off -

i had an accident one day and convinced the tube people to let me take my bike on the tube since i couldn't ride it home. they were quite nice about it, but said it was definitely an exception.

you (generally) cant take unfolded bikes on the tube but you can get an overland train to richmond which runs from waterloo

Profile Racing are the BMX gods
After buying an old pug carbolite 103 frame...
I am thinking if i could fit cyclocross wheels on them? 700 x 32?
is this consider bad??
and is the carbolite 103 really a classic? According to my research... it is the first bike that peugot mass produce using cheap steel.....
