My tout-Francais (or Franco-American) McLean is nearing completion. Belleri bars and stem, Stronglight headset, Simplex shifters and derailleurs, CLB brakes, TA crank and bottom bracket, Maxi-car hubs laced to Mavic MA40's, Maillard freewheel, Ideale saddle and even French cables and housing. What I need now is a French seatpost, either Stronglight or Simplex with a 27.2 mm diameter. I have a 25mm Stronglight but it just too small to shim. I'd even take a 27.0 or 26.8 as I may be able to shim those sizes. I am starting to think that the French never made seat posts in 27.2 sizes. Also, did any other French companies beside Simplex and Stronglight make seat posts?
Also, I need a 50 tooth and 34 tooth TA ring for Cyclotouriste cranks and the attendant hardware.
I will pay exorbitant prices or I have all kinds of goodies to trade.
All the Best,
George Allen Lexington, Kentucky USA
