thats what i figured, i ordered up a crank set from my lbs and i think they should work to make it into a fixie. i also had another opportunity come up today that i think i will jump on. its a bianchi frame. i would get it from a co worker in exchange for some of my stuff. the bianchi has standard bb and all that good stuff so i think i will make the peugot into a ss. i dunno maybe a suicide ss ahah. Oh and what do you mean getting the cotter outta the cranks would be a pain? Not sure what you mean by cotter
