How will I determine if it's the real deal?
Better to convert that UO-8 than a PX-10. If you want a fixie, and you like the Peugeot, go for it. The tubing is nothing special, but that's what makes it the better choice for conversion-- you won't be harming a rare and valuable bike, and it will look just as good when converted.
I think that bike is worth $100 almost anywhere, and maybe $150 or more in the hottest bike markets. $50 would be a nicer price, and if you can get it for $50, so much the better, but you won't be getting ripped off if you pay $100.
