BB Confusion!
so i just picked up a 70's peugeot frame for $20, and i'm really confused about replacing the bottom bracket. should it be french threaded? and are these apparently hard to come by now? any help would be great. thanks.

Been there ... done that.
An early-to-mid 1970s Peugeot will definitely have a French-theaded bottom bracket.
An early 1980s Peugeot will definitely have a Swiss-threaded bottom bracket, usually denoted by a gold anodized fixed cup.
If you have a late 1970s Peugeot, please let me know what you discover, because you are outside my experience and expertise.
