Ok, i'm in the process now of fizzing out the stem, which i have cut off short and removed with the forks.
I am trying to ascertain whether this is a french standard frame/headset/stem, so i can get the right replacement parts.
This is probably my bike in catalog but most of the parts appear to have been changed.
This link reckons that if my stem measures 22 mm or less, its French, since british ones should be 22.2.
My (much less than precise, no calipers) measurements put my stem at 22mm, but i hope not. I don't want to have to replace the forks/bars. /:
Is there any other telltale sign to let me know if the frame is french standard? I haven't removed the BB yet..
