If you figure out what pump it needs, let me know. I have a 70's Follis which also has pegs spaced too wide for Sheldon's pumps. As to the BB, It's probably a Nervar, but these were essentially clones of the old Stronglight BBs, Same 8-sided fixed cup, same raised hex on the adjustable cup. The Stronglights of this type were not exclusively low end. They appeared on the PX-10 and nearly every other top French-equiped model from the French manufacturers.
