Greetings, all:
I'm building up a 1958 Hetchins frame I bought from a listmember in a terrific transaction. I'm doing so in a period-, if not regionally-, correct fashion. A friend has offered a really lovely set of cottered Stronglight cranks, looking much like a slender set of 49ds, that I'd like to use. I'm seeking, then, a high-quality, English-threaded bottom bracket with a cottered spindle that's an appropriate length for a single chainring. This needn't be NOS, but it must have some good life left in it.
I'm also looking for a pretty 11cm/4.5" stem that would be appropriate for the bike.
Thanks for your consideration. I'll answer all correspondence.
