Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. I have just been bitten by the fixie virus.
I have an old Motobecane Mirage II, not sure about what year?
Can you guys help tell me what size I need on the headset and the bottom bracket?
thanx, cruz

Thanx guys!
The headset is kinda' ugly, that's why I wanna change it to something nicer.
When I measure inside the top of the headtube it's 30mm (I think). Is it 1" then?
And when I unscrewed the BB I turned forward on both sides.
And it was a pain in the ass to get of, so I ruined them... :-(
The sizes on BB the parts was 68mm, ΓΈ34mm and the lenght on the spindle was 129mm. What I want to know is if I want to look for the parts on eBay or something, what do I look for? And is the leght of the spindle the correct lenght when I want to make it into a fixed gear? I'm afraid of shopping the wrong parts...
I'm a newbie on everything here so please help me out... :-)
