I have an 88 Peugeot ph10le. Can anyone tell me what is the size of the seatpoast? I would like to look for one on line.
Thank you for any and all help.

Your right it's an 88
This is the closest I could find (link below). Tomorrow I will put up some real pics. I hope you can help me identify it to?
What is the difference between the PG 10/id and the PY 10/p ???

peugeot seat post can be almost imposible. get a post as close as you can and buy a shim to make it fit.

Your LBS has a seatpost measuring stick. My old Peugeot Iseran takes a 24.8mm post so we're getting a 25mm and grinding it down to fit.

And it's not a PY10. Maybe a PH10, which is a much lower model.

Ph-10's aren't that bad? I'm also pretty certain that is a PH-10, as it is HLE with a Carbolite fork, which is exactly like mine. That white paper tag on the left side by the cranks, will give the model. It will probably read PHLE10, or PH10LE, can't remember the exact order..,,,,BD
It's still a decent bike, and will still ride like a Peugeot
I just took my digital caliper out to the garage...24.0

I didn't mean to imply the PH10LE was a bad bicycle. It was a nice bicycle for it's age, era and price level ($269 US, circa 1985). However it is nowhere near the same league as a PY10/P, which it was identified as. The PY10/P was worth well over $1000 and weighed about 5 lbs less.

Thats cool, I was trying to match it to the pictures from old catalogs and the PY10/p was the first all black one I found that resembled it.
I would like to convert it to a single gear street bike but am having trouble finding a 27" flip flop wheel. does anyone know of a good wheel building thread? Could also use any good info on cool spoke designs.

Sorry
It says 4289366PHLE1054. Yes a flip flop freewheel and fixed, but I want to keep the breaks hence the need for a 27" wheel.

Harris cyclery will sell you 27" rims, hubs in your choice of fixed, fixed/free, fixed/fixed, etc. and in various widths to fit whatever dropout space you've got. They also sell spokes and can even build the wheels for you, if you'd like.
I bought some Dia Compe centerpull brakes for my Peugeot Mixte; they'll reach the 700c wheels just fine.

Good, because aero levers and Weinmann PH10 brakes do NOT mix. I just tried to convert by adding Dia Compe AGC levers, and it stops ten times worse than it did with the original levers. I've always heard it should work better because of more mechanical advantage, etc. For other calipers maybe. Applying the front brake at low speed feels like stopping from high speed with the rear brakes only. Maybe that's where my extra DC centerpulls and kool stops will end up. I have some from an old Azuki Mixte.,,,,BD

on the cheep
I am trying to do it on the cheep (I read Sheldon Browns article on the subject). My thought is I will get the best result for the least if I am willing to put in the time to do it. That is barring any bull headed mistakes
that are costly.
that are costly.

No one seems to have a post (or mesuring stick for that matter) that fits. Someone told me they thought it was 24.6mm? Any and all help would be great.

Recap
Just in case anyone would like to know the seatpoast outcome. This bike takes a 24.1mm post so what I did was Bought a 22mm ans cut a shim out of an old seatpoast.It has been working fine and is a lot sturdier than grinding one down or using beer cans.

Instead of buying a new wheel now, you can try to remove the current F/w and throw a 2-3mm ($1.00)BB spacer behind a new 16t single speed freewheel (20.00)and roll the small ring on the front in it's current inboard position and atach it with bmx chainring bolts (5.00) with a fat BMX chain ($8.00)your chainline should be solid. I have a bianchi with this setup on it for years with absolutely no problems.

I took off the extra drive train hardware, shortened my chain, and put it on the small chain ring and lowest gear. I have a fast singlespeed with freewheel and no re-dishing required.
