Peugeot UO-12

Good Evening/Morning,

Any advice on the worthiness of a Peugeot UO-12 for fixed gear
purposes?
I may have the opportunity to pick one up locally.

The headset was a bit rough but the cranks and bottom bracket were
good.

Estimate the value of this with essentially just frame/fork/crankset
and bottom bracket?
(It's been through alot I gather)

Thanks,

Check your stem size- a lot of those old Peugeots had French steerers
and headsets that couldn't take a 22.2mm stem. Otherwise should make a
fine fixie.

I imagine that new bearings for the headset would suffice.
It was a bit dry, not grinding or sticking.

heavy carbon steel bike : $25 with very good paint, $5-$10 with bad paint.
