Any good links or resources to a "Bike Building 101" type of page?

Background:

I have an older Peugeot road bike that I currently have in pieces. When I bought it (think I paid $50 for a box of pieces) I intended to put it together as a single speed as a way to learn more about bike mechanics, but now am thinking that maybe multiple speeds and having it as a commuter would be better (the road bike I currently have is more of a racing bike and has no bolt holes to add racks, etc). I understand there might be some nuances around some of the threading being reversed as it's a French bike.

Any good sites for a pieces-to-bike build up recommended? Any comments regarding a multi vs. single speed?

Thanks!

PS - I hope to get my first commute of the year in next week!!!!
