Vintage Peugeot conversion help and tips please

First thing first, *make sure it fit you.*

Yeah, it does fit me, I made sure of that when I got it.
I should also point out that I have pretty much stripped the bike down since these photos, so what's next?

well, wheel? chain? saddle? etc.

Are there any good brands I should consider?
Also, is the bike I got okay for the conversion?

Looks like a very late 70's or early 80's PZ10 or something.
You don't need to look for good brands, the bike will be a beater.

Beater meaning super shit?

nope, not at all. I consider mine a beater, I wouldn't be scared to crash it into a ditch.

Haha, sick. So what's next for me to get to convert it?

beater i.e. cheap part but does not necessary mean rubbish.

look at on-one for wheelset as well as Sheldon Brown for general bit and bobs.

Get some pake cranks, cheap but very good imo.

On-one wheelset is very, very good for the money. I've just replaced my charge wheelset with these are they are light and can take quite a beating.

I thought I would vent a bit of rage. I always assumed late 70's and 80's Peugeots (not including 'proper' lugged frames) were a budget option, I mean, I have three carbolite/mangalloy and not one of them cost over £20 to buy as a complete bike, one was free.
Just checking ebay for a cleaner less scratched frame to port my components across onto and to my surprise everyone is going mad for base spec 103 carbolites.
What have I missed?

let just says it's hipster price.

Whaa! Peugeots are subject to scene tax these days?

Great, I'm going to sell mine then. It was free to me!

Hey, why not paint it green to add £700 to the value....

Please remove that image, I find it highly offence and it's hurting my eyes with it's hipster glare.

I'll remove it when you find £700 worth of parts on it.

So you mean... Never?!

Well.. Is green expensive?

I'm off outside to remove my rear tyre... :(

I'm bringing my bike inside to swap the front tyre... :-)

"fixie bike, stunning"

Stunningly shit. looks like the brazillian flag

I just made some more inkeeping bullhorns.

out of some shitty Peugeot drop bars

You might find you want to cut a little more off of those to get a nice looking shape that is still comfy. You only really sit on the flat sections and then butt up against the curve, so you don't need quite so much curve. Just my own opinion on the matter, it is of course your choice.

I see your point, I really wasn't getting on with the lack of curve on the Easton bars, my hands kept slipping forward, so I though I would leave a curve on these ones, I had the stem in a vice and tested how it felt before I chopped them, they felt about right.

WIth tape and on bike...

Hi, apologies if I ask something stupid but I'm new to the custom fixie game! Really glad I found this thread cos I've decided to convert an old peugeot for my next bike. I built a dirt jump bike years ago but new to the fixie stuff so I have a couple of questions about flip-flop wheelsets. (decided to go flip flop because I want to try fixie but would like a freewheel option if i dont get on with it)

If i get a flip flop rear wheelset like one of these:

What else do I need on the back wheel? A sprocket for either side and a (BMX) freewheel? I've not heard great things about create, but good value with tyres included.

I'll take photos as I go along as payment for your advice! Hopefully I'll have a nice bike at the end of it!
