It's the smallest of things, but I need one and don't have it. Anybody have one they are willing to part with? Will pay reasonable price, shipping, whatever.

Not certain of the exact diameter needed, but perhaps this? Velo Orange Step-Down ferrule

That might do it, thanks! I'll see what others have to say. I cannibalized the exact same one above (from my Gitane TdF) to use on my Peugeot PX10.

That stepped down ferrule should work. French bikes use 4 mm not 5 i believe. Vive la difference, n’est ce pas?
