Campy Tool Kits in French?
I've got Italian and English thread kits. Just curious if Campy every made their kits in French threading. Any ideas?

My kit came to me with all 3* sets of taps, and the matching pilots for the facer. Plus the reamer to go from French or English to Italian, and the 45° chamfer cutter for Mavic BBs! Oh and a Silva headset reamer/facer for OS headsets in addition to the Campy one for 1". Previous owner was a "completist" I guess.
* "All 3 doesn't include Swiss unfortunately. My Swiss tap is a Hozan, and isn't piloted, so pretty much only good for chasing and only when the existing threads are good enough to guide it straight.
The reamer may not be Campy, doesn't say Campy on it but it's a precision fit on the tap holders. I've used it a few times and it is godlike, makes a super nice bore for tapping.
The Mavic chamfer cutter is definitely not Campy, but also fit the Campy holder just right, so it's precisely piloted to the thread on the other side.
Seattle-area folks, talk to me if you need a BB tapped, faced etc. I can repair even totally munged threads to like new, I know some tricks. Shipping a frame to me probably isn't worth it though, unless you're really sure there's no one in your area code that can handle it.

jiangshi and Bulgie, as usual, know what they're talking about, much more than I actually. I was going through an old framebuilder's tooling a week ago and came across all of the French threaded tooling for the Campy box kit. Not very common in this country.

Yeah come any time. My setup is "ample" in some ways like the Campy toolkit, and rudimentary in some others. Like most of the shop being outdoors in my driveway under an awning. Not much of an atelier indoors — too small to put a tandem in the stand, and even a single has to be diagonal across the space or I can't move from one side of the bike to the other. The tour will be brief!
Maybe you can help me convince Laurie that the living room would be a great place for a milling machine.

Unfortunately Hugh Enochs (Paradigm Bikes and Jevelot) is not doing well. I am part of a group effort to help his wife clear out decades of accumulated bike stuff. That's why I'm listing so much eclectic stuff in the "Classic and Vintage Sales" forum. I'll put some of the off-topic stuff on ebay. All the framebuilding stuff except the milling machine and TIG welder are already gone.
