Thanks !
I will look at that when I rebuild it.
This is a size 53 (54,?)cm.
About the same as my Gitane bike, and maybe same year of production ( I have 1977 hubs too on the Gitane bike)
I should finish the Gitane bike first.
The crankset axle was for sure dead. I could finally managed to purchase a brand new one + new bearing balls (need 140 mm long which is not so easy to find, ), and now I can not fit the crankset on the axle (which works properly) .
Axle diameter is okay, but I can not put in thru enough the small conical pieces (and screw) to maintain the crankset properly.
I must found replacement conical parts, on it will cost me lots of "elbow grease" to make the current one do the job.
I will see. For sure annoying , but Nothing is broken and I have plenty of time !
