…that Chris at Velo Orange has done the Francophiles a huge favor. No more scouring ebay for the 'ole 35×1 bottom bracket in sub par condition, just so you can build up your classic lejunemotobecanebcarrestarnodpeugeot. Nope, those days are over because someone has FINALLY releas

ed a french thread bottom bracket- and that someone is Velo Orange. Furthermore, at $48 it won't cost you and arm and a leg or require the use of a Phil tool to install.

These guys come in 103mm, 107mm, 110mm, 113mm, 116mm, and 122mm so you can run a host of cranks including track and triples. While we are hesitant to feature a product on our site that we actually haven't used, our experience with VO's stuff has been nothing but wonderful- so we expect no less from this bottom bracket.

Time to hunt down a new French frame so we have an excuse to test one. We'll report back.
