I'm completely new to this game, but I want to make myself a beautiful bike to love till it falls apart while being ridden - surely everyones prefered way to go? Anyway, I've bought a seriously distressed peugeot frame with all it's original parts and basically I'd like to know if it's worth it and if there is anything I need to know about it before I start.
It's a carbolite 103 frame and has all it's decals on it. The wiring is outside the frame and all the parts basically need to be replaced, including the barings which I assume is going to be a small nightmare. What do you think - should I take it on or sell it on? I have big ideas but only a limited budget.

Also if anyone has any tools and tips they would be willing to share or know anywhere where I can go and work? I would be utterly delighted as I'm working from a very basic kit.
