WANTED: French size bottom bracket and headset

Recently got an old gitane frameset that requires french size headset (25mm steerer) and bottom bracket (35 x 1mm thread, 68mm width). They seem a bit tricky to get hold of without shelling out big bucks.

Anyone with spares? Don't have to be in amazing condition. Just have to work. Thanks

If you are on a budget, you should use a threadless bottom bracket - they are about £15.

As for the headset, you can either get the forks re-threaded to english/BSA which should be about £20 or buy cheap forks and a BSA headset.

If you're in London, there's a bike shop on Hoxton Street run by two French guys that refurbishes French bikes. They can probably sort you out.

Hi
I have several options for you.
From Campag to Shimano.
They are not dirt cheap but unlike modern items should have a very good resale value.
Pm if of interest
Si

Last time I was in Hoxton Street that shop was not there and a gallery or some such has opened in the space. If you know where they have moved to do let me know?

Thanks for your help everyone

@Si46 i've sent you a pm

It's definitely still there - I went past today- although it might have been a gallery over christmas? I seem to recall the same thing. Anyway, it's not open until 16th Feb and not on Mondays, from the sign on the door. It's called Auguste, I think.

Thanks for info.

Apologies for those not in Hoxton/Shoreditch for the hijacking of this thread!!!

Not sure if of any use, but I have a 25mm campag aero seatpost. Although if your frame is swankier tubing it'll probably be 26.4 or something.
