Current Projects chat and miscellany

I just picked up a gitane track frame I "won" on ebay last week. Didn't really want it but it was cheapish.

Am I correct in thinking that I will be needing french threaded BB and some randon french size seat pin? Have I just entered a world of pain and frustration?

mine has french bb and headset. it takes a 26.4mm seatpost. the main triangle is 531, but that should depend on the model i guess.

looking at the pictures that frameset does not look like any gitane i have seen before. i only know lugged frames and that drilled cheapish forkcrown and those trackends also seem unfamiliar to me.
