It is getting harder to find vintage 14M pedals in good condition.

Arte there any stronglight cranks from 1976 to 1981 with 16/9 threading? If yes, I would change the cranks first

M14 means French threading for pedals unless someone has enlarged the pedal threads to take 9/16 pedals. This is done on occasion so it is easier to fit almost any pedal style/brand. It will be best t ...

Check the back of the crank arms. It may say 9/16 or 14/125 (french).

Sorry, it was my old term for the rear freewheel sprocket cluster. This one in the ad appears to have a 8 sprocket freewheel or 8 rear speeds. Gitanes from the year of yours and my bike were 5 or 6 ...

I will not fix or change it!

The brake bridges were made of cheap sheet metal rolled into a tube shape.

Yes, he rear brake mounting bolt is short. And since nothing aint broken, theres no reason to fix, like you said, except putting a radius spacer in between in the near future.

Muchocapucho · Replies: 55
