it's gonna be an odd size no matter what, it's a peugeot) Are the chrome forks original (
probably)? Are parts hard to come across for this bike (
depends on model? I need any facts, opinions, or anything else that will make my decision easier. Please help guys!! There is a link below that contains the CL ad for picture reference.

you gonna need a new headset & stem?
choices: new standard fork & headset & stem -or- french headset & stem
are you dead set on new parts? if not, you got all that on the bike already & if it works, use it
old peugeots are a toss up, it's gonna be a headache no matter what
i can tell you one thing:
i dont think that frame is worthy of all new parts (cost-wise)
