Is this bike worth it?
i was looking into getting a vintage bike kind of like this one in the link. I was going to convert it into a fixed gear bicycle. I don't know anything about prices and don't want to get ripped off so is this bike worth $100 dollars?

Appears to be a good value. For $100, what the heck, give it a try.
I have two Peugeots myself right now.

I bought one of those when new -- my first road bike. The picture is not so clear, but I recall that the bike has too many braze ons for the clean look you likely want to acheive. I would try a bike about ten years older, plus or minus, with no braze ons. The Peugeot is not a bad deal (in good condition), if you decide to buy it.
