Thanks VeLLo - think I read something along those lines too. Off topic question - I saw (and tried really hard not to buy!) that Mercier bike of yours. Are the Spidel cranks track ones? If so, what BB axle width did you use? I plan to use a pair of Spidel trank cranks on this...
On the Mercier I've installed a NOS Dura Ace bottom bracket (complete, so the axle is DA too) Not sure about ISO / JIS standard here, but it fits perfectly, with a perfect chain line...
Nice stickers, it looks great like this... Have you considered gold lug lining? I did that on an old black Holdsworth, with gold enamel paint from a model shop and a very small brush, if you do it while your bike is not built, it's easier... If you don't do it, what about the M of motobecane on the fork crown at least? Just a thought...
