New pug project

newbie here

just bought an old pug off ebay as a project to convert to fixed gear

the more i read up on it the more i think peugeot could have been a mistake, how do i know if its french threaded ro english and how much hassle isit gonna be if its french

Welcome

There's this from the Sheldon Brown website: http://sheldonbrown.com/gloss_bo-z.html#bottom
that may help

There's a list of online suppliers on the forum around here somewhere - do a search for "Lists" and that should get you started.

From the decals I have it down as being made between 1984-1988 and the stamp on the BB shell tells me (I think) that it was made in February 1987, therefore almost certainly it would be English threaded.

nice looking peugeot...i do miss mine.
