1. Make sure you know what type of bottom bracket you need first. Older Peugeot's need the screwy French threaded bottom brackets, but later Peugeot's were made in Asia and take the standard English bottom bracket.

2. If you do need a french threaded bottom bracket, you don't have to spend $200.
Velo Orange has French Threaded bottom brackets for $48.
