Here is the actual round of photos for my recently finished Peugeot UO8. It was a very fun build, and was also my first fixie. I started with only the frame/fork, and built my way up. After doing a lot of research on what would work for this bike, and what french parts I should stay away from, it was fairly easy to do.
The hardest thing to track down was the Shimano UN72 bottom bracket. If you are considering converting a french bike that has a french thread bottom bracket, use the Shimano UN72 with phil wood cups. It worked PERFECTLY.
