Is this a good frame

Is this a good frame to convert to a fixie as I've just bought it

Has horizontal drops and i like peugeots so would say yes. Though hope you didn't pay a shitload for it because obviously it's seen better days...

its not because its a unicycle.

well i pay just over £30 for it?

Hmmm. Pedals, suicide levers, downtube shifters and steel seatpost identify it as late 70s early 80s and not very high quality. Peugot built some nice bikes and some rather cheap ones, just like Raleigh. It used to be the case that even a cheap Raleigh/Peugot had a certain basic quality of build, but nothing special. Hard to see if the frame sticker top of downtube is 531 - it might be but I doubt it. Ideal for a fixed conversion but won't be brilliant or very light, and you won't be able to use many of the parts except bars/stem. But it ain't a shit-hot frame. Those steel cranks are the giveaway. And check those forks. They look like they might be bent a bit. Sorry not to be able to be more positive.

You brought this bike, and THEN ask if it a good frame?!

anyhow, it's fine, does the job.

its called faith.

I have the faith, it's my first project, I wanted to see how well i could do up a bike before spending serious money

Looks like a good enough frame for a first fixie conversion. Go for it!

Make sure you remove the brakes, otherwise it's not really a fixie.

well it may just be a single speed, not sure at the moment

thing about bicycle is that the component can be swapped easily.

you can spend serious money on it, and then move those part onto a better frame.

It's perfect. Don't spend too much money on it, but give it the right kit (UTFS innit). Then ride the shit out of it, don't worry about scratching the £100 paintjob or the £300 wheels that you won't have, don't worry (too much) about it getting nicked, and save up for someting 'nice'.

As long as it's not one of those Pugs with the weird-ass French threadings for the BB etc. etc...

http://www.missionbicycle.com/gallery i need some advice on is this a good frame and is it to much to pay for a frame like this over all including painting and shipping it wll cost 300 pounds what do you think?

You posted this already. Spammer?

And the simple answer is no- all of those bikes are fucking horrible.

Wooden tube covers...

Beyond belief alright..

I quite like the wooden tube covers. On an art bike, like, not one for daily use.
