I bought an old Peugeot road bike this weekend for a ridiculously small chunk of change. It's a steel frame Super Sport from 1982 and, from what the owner told me, it has served well in its 27 years of service.
I was ecstatic when he sold it to me because my intent had always been to find another old road bike and gradually turn it into a fixed gear by, oh, let's say August. A modest deadline.
Currently, I ride a Beekay with a smaller frame which is in great shape and has just recently been tuned up. It has new tires, new wheels, new gear assembly, new brakes, and a new chain.

The Peugeot is in great shape, but I was hoping to find a slightly smaller frame in order to build my own cheap fixie.
Anyone wanna trade?
Does anyone have the body shape to ride this gigantic bike? Even after a seat adjustment I find it huge, and it seems to me that if I were to invest in this bike I should start with a fitting frame.
So, let me know if you have an old ten-speed lying around that you might want to exchange.
