Hi, thanks for the reply.
What brands would you look for for something english?
I did spot this in the meantime....http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/vintage-peugeot-road-bike-53cm-frame-ideal-fixie-ss-project/1018673024#photo-content
I should probably go for something a bit more 'complete' I suspect though, rather than a ground up build.

Hi there,
I'm looking for a cheap decent bike to convert to single speed for short but regular city use.
This is really a project on a budget as its just to get me from home-work-gym type thing. Thats not to say I don't want to make it look nice though! I don't want a huge project... something that will be easy enough to swap over and then some light cosmetic stuff/repaint etc.
Whats a good bike to start from? I'm 5ft 5/6 female... research tells me I want a frame between 50-53cm? I used to have a 49cm Condor which was very comfy, though maybe I should have had a bigger frame back then... and its seems the smaller frames are hard to find.
Peugeot seems like a popular choice for projects, are there particular models to keep an eye out for and what should I expect to pay?
Many thanks in advance for the advice. Dummies guide please..... :)

thanks thats helpful.
Looks like those parts are right as you say except pedals and saddle, also straight chromed front fork.

Hi,
I'm a she not a he. I'm not sure of the parts to be honest I'm no bicycle expert by any means. I'll try to find out what the parts are, as I genuinely don't know.
Thanks

Meant as lightheartedly as possible, again tone unknown via tinterweb and like I said fair point indeed.
Lol, gotcha's! :)
What about Raleighs?
Well if anyone happen to stumble across this thread and has anything/knows of anything suitable do let me know!
