Bought the frame of a Peugeot sprint, came with the crank set and a bent chainring. Just not sure if I could bend it back or just go get a new chainring altogether.
I’m going for a fixie and the smaller chainring works with a chain and a wheel I bought awhile back
Do I have to get a new chainring?

Are you serious lol
Lol, I bet the spider is bent too. New crank time dude.
Given you want to make it a fixie, yes absolutely
Your drive train on a fixed gear has to be rock solid: it’s your brake and it takes extra forces in unique directions compared to other setups. I’d recommend a new bottom bracket and cranks too
Uh yeah.
Yesssss!!!!!! Probably new cranks and bottom bracket too
As others have suggested I would suggest new bb and cranks if you converting to a fixie.
Chain line is really important for a fixie I would suggest having a chat with your trusted lbs about what combo would suit you best. I’m glad I did so when I converted my retro road frame as it saved me lots and hassle and mistakes
