I know some of the old Peugeots did have standard ISO threaded BBs, for instance, but that's by no means all of them. Is this just a bare frame, or do you only need the headset to finish it off?
So the bike came working when I got it. My intentions were to drop like 200-250 to replace a lot of the parts and make it look nice.
When I was taking it apart, I didn't know that I may not be able to find replacement parts. Some of the parts of the headset and the bearings in the BB have been lost, I should have the majority of everything that came with the bike.
Before I go further, I just want to say that I am new to bikes in general, although I can catch on quick i might not know a lot of things that may seem obvious to bike enthusiasts.
Anyways...
This is what I have ordered for the restoration process. If you see a part that is not compatible with the frame please tell me, because there probably will be some.
Parts
-A BB that probably wont work with the bike based on what I have discovered today.

-A new Crank

I was going to include breaks/levers, but I didn't think it was necessary
As for the headset parts that I have:
-Cups
-bearings (large amounts of hair in them)
Again, I do have the original BB, but it needs bearings (on one side at least)
