I found it in the Tiverton Dump Its a rather good one, but only the devon dumps let you buy/take things away from them. Where is it your from?

its not as good as it seems, just good photos. i'll pop up a bigger photo sometime. but it is still in good condition

Just incase someone wants them...
I have an original peugeot brake calipers. I only need 1, didn't know if anyone might be trying to restore an old peugeot, there in surprisingly good condition. Just a thought anywho.

I'm stuck down in Somerset/Devon, so no not really london, but i'll be moving up there in Oct (uni course) so I am kinda in London, soon ish :)

Hey guys, as you can now see everything is now removed (and I reclaimed the seat pin from the skip, Thanks) In the end i used a bit of wd-40 and tapped it to get twisting, thanks.

The cranks are indeed Stronglight (the prize goes to hippy) and I have decided to keep them on there, realised there was no point removing them yet, they still work fine.
Yer the frame is in good nick, only a bit of minor rust where the derailer was. I'll sort that in the not too distant future.

Now I was wondering....
Ideally I would love to set up a nice cheap fixie until i'm sure that I enjoy it. So anyone got any suggestions for a cheap fixed hub or way to keep the cost of the wheels down? thanks.

Well there I was bored with the sun shining and some petrol in my tank. So I went searching for a frame for what will eventually be new fixie. Much to my delight hopping between various dumps I found this:

Though not too knowledgeable about what it was i did clearly notice PEUGEOT emblazoned across the frame so went for it. £2 later I had my frame. Fast forward about an hour or so...

viola one stripped down bike (which I now know to be a 1970's Peugeot U09) but alas... I have been unable to remove a few things (as far as i know its all the original parts btw), and was hoping people might be able to help me.
The things I am having trouble with are...
The cranks, i'm not sure if they are just rusted onto the BB or if there is a knack to getting them off.
The Bars, I cant slide them off (i cant get round the tight bent in the bars)
The Stem, having undone all the bits I still cant separate the stem from the forks

Also if people have any opinions on whether it is worth converting a U09 or not then I would love to hear them.
Thanks
