I just bought a Lambert Grand Prix frame and death fork from the CR classified page. It's a lugged steel one, purple and white with gold lined lugs. The seller included many original parts from this and another frame, so the bike is maybe 75% complete. The rear derailleur is steel, medium-long cage, simple parallelogram rather like a Huret Svelto. Is this an original Lambert derailleur? It also appears to have the infamous Lambert BB with untapered axle. I've never owned a Lambert before, so maybe someone can enlighten me. Is this BB threaded or is it pressed in as it appears it may be? I have only the left arm, anyone have a Lambert right arm for sale? Failing that, anyone know if a normal BB or normal axle can be installed to allow use of another crank?

Regards,
