Need a new BB for an old Peugeot

I have a vintage 1969 PX10 which has a knackerd BB...

Has anyone had experiance with french old bottom brackets and replacing them before. Where can I source a new or fully refurbed one asap? does anyone have one to hand?

As ever your help is much appreciated!

Anyone!?

I just thought do french bikes usually take shimano or campnag bb's or is it something entirley different?

check the search. There is a 'French threaded' bottom bracket standard also.
you can tell what BB you have by measuring width and noting the direction that the cups unscrew.
If your BB is French I would try and save it- i.e. if it is loose ball try and source a shorter spindle and save the cups.

Good luck.

french bb's are a tricky prospect
doesn't the PX-10 have non french stuff though
it was a team bike / team bike replica so maybe they went with campy / shimano standard sized stuff

if it is french sizing you'll have a job finding spares

dicki is more correct, check out sheldon brown for a handy table of BB standards.

no no no
provenrad is much more correcter than i

Yeah it was a team bike back when it won the old tour de france but I'm still not sure they used campy / shimano? will have a little look into this cheers for your help!!

Thankyou provenrad, that sheldon brown is handy!

I think a phil wood bb will do the trick even tho I could get a 68mm cartridge then find some french cups. It wont go wrong on me in a long time and it will be smooth as butterscoth whip so iv'e been told!! In the mean time can anyone lend me a bike for the week!?

I tried to send you an email because i got a Dura Ace /w french threads to offer. Let me know if you received it: bugoc@gmx.net

Thanks for your offer Bug but it looks like the wrong size I need a 68mm not a 75mm
Thank you again for your offer tho!

bugoc, i may want that bb off you. let me confirm measurements tonight

bicycle workshop is islington have some french BBs

Thanks n3lson! I'll take a look... nice avatar by the way!

google says bicycle workshop is in W11...

W11, W12, I don't care. I googled it and it worked. I've never been there, just dealt with over the phone.

@ Yebo: You could have it if Strider doesn't want it. I offered him first because i read about his struggle...

Bugoc, thanks again.... Whats the actual size?

So, lately i measured the BB again.
Unfortunately for me, i cannot combine both so i can offer you the original 107mm Cup'n'Cone from the auction. Because of the lockring, you should be able to fit it in a 68mm BB shell. I just checked it in my track frame with ITA and it should work (both cups screwed in to hold the spindle and there are few millimeters outside to screw the lockring on).
So do you want it?

... it has NJS stamp on the spindle,too. And willl fit 68 definitely because the spindle sais: 68 / 107.

so are you interested?

I'm not sure of the length of the BB? I need to measure it before I say yes! does anyone know the length of a 70's px-10 bb? might have to check Sheldon brown. I will get back to you Bugoc

I just sourced a TA loose ball french BB for a customer from Spa, who are very helpful, nice blokes to deal with....
Good luck,
Scherrit.
