WTB - French threaded pedals

I've got a motobecane build kicking my ass and I need some french pedals as quickly as possible (need them in hand within a week or sooner). Can anybody help out? Willing to pay for faster shipping. Quill would be nice, lyotard is just fine. Going on some Stronglight 93 cranks.

I might have an old set of rat trap Lyotard pedals with French threading. Checking....

Ok. Looks like I have a pair of Lyotard 460D Lyotard double-sided platform pedals from the 70's, maybe the 60's. I haven't looked at the spindles to determine the approximate manufacture date.

This would be my solution, requires a set of expendable regular thread pedals stripped down to the spindles.

Cut grooves to make rethreaders and change the cranks.

PM if you want more help with this.

The spindles spin very freely. Definitely need grease. I don't see any discernible damage.

Well, in a crazy but very C&V turn of events, a 1972 PX10 showed up in my area for very cheap in my size so of course I picked it up...and the pedals are French threaded! So I’ll be using those and figuring out what to do with the (very ratty but straight) PX10 later on. Thanks though LittleGinseng !

The PX-10 could be "upgraded" to "normal" threading easy, peasy.

You can send em to me if you like and want it done.

You're welcome, polymorphself. Glad it all worked out.
