Old post but I've done something similar and ended up using the outer position on a triple. I can't remember the numbers but the chainline was quite wide, over 50mm I think. I can measure it tomorrow if you like. Fair warning: haven't ridden the bike in anger as I've been away over Christmas so the chain could well end up grinding or popping off or something; who knows.
If you decide to buy a cog the cheapest one I found was this from Triton

As it turns out I personally know someone who lost both legs from above the knee. Doctors reattached both of her feet backwards so as to use the ankle joints as knee replacements and a place to hang her prosthetic lower legs from. I almost blacked out the first time I saw them.

Hank's father Cotton has no shins
He has short shins. I'm assuming his shattered tibiae and fibulae healed without the benefit of traction, so they are just shorter than they were before the injury.

Sorry, my poor attempt at humour obviously missed the mark: by "Le Gumtree", I meant French Gumtree.
As mentioned above, it looks to have an external BB which suggests it's an English BB.
I did have a UK spec Pug with the ridiculous seatpost diameter, but Decathlon sold a cheap seatpost that came with a suitable shim: I'll see if I can find it.
-
Yeah, was going to say the same thing. Not only is it possible but you can put it on backwards which gives you a far more useful limb than a thigh with no knee joint at all.
Looks a bit weird obviously but who cares? Better to have use of your leg than worry about people being mean to you.
Edit: now that's a new page fail. Really need a bit of context here.

The operation actually took place in the 90s and she's come down from the North (she's Inuit) to stay at the boarding home that I work at many times - she's an extremely robust human being and possibly one of the few who could live as well as she does under these conditions.

If you should need a new seatpost and it's 24mm:

Thanks for this and the seatpost link.
I’m awaiting a response on what tubing was used, as I’m dont need the bike to be heavier than it needs to be.
Also got my eye on a more modern bike, just in case.. -
I've owned a few shit Peugeots, the decal on the downtube looks like it's Carbolite 103 (4 or 5 in the image below).
Lite does not mean light. It is their standard gas pipe tubing. But with that frame size, it won't be a problem. It will be those wheels you need to worry about. Look like deep section alu which will likely weight as much as the frame. They hold a ton of inertia so will make it harder for her to set off or go up any incline. Unless of course she's fitter than me which is a very likely scenario.
£150 is about the top end of what you would want to pay for that kind of used Peugeot. Especially if you don't get on with the wheel and end up losing another ton to replace them with something lighter.

thanks, big man, there wasn't enough detail in the photo for me to make out that sticker, so I've asked the seller...
No worries about the wheelset, was going to swap the front out for my dynamo hub, and the two speed rear should be fine for the GF's needs, she's not looking for it to be fast, more of a pootle and cruise kind of thing.
Just don't want it being too heavy for her in her expectant state.. -
Will be 109mm if it came off a CAAD12, yep.
This guy had the same issue and found where to buy the spacers from (ended up being US by the look of it)

Kleins in Noel Street had that sort of thing when I was a boy, unfortunately their website is practically unusable so I can't say for sure that they still do.

Condor have this if it's the same buckle you could cannibalise it.
-
Depends which part of it you need - if its the left/femail part then that needs to be sewn/attached to something - you can get buckles with a split in the bar to allow you to replace them without re-sewing.

That's why it's in a comedy show. It would be practically impossible to do that in real life, because nothing would join up. You might be able to figure out a plumbing diagram to keep the foot alive, but it would be a useless attachment and get in the way of a useful prosthesis.
