French threading? <shudder>

I thought about mentioning that.
What used to be a nightmare is hopefully eased with Velo Orange producing both a French thread headset and bottom bracket: https://www.veloduo.co.uk/collections/french

Velo Orange's stuff is nice

I've got a pair of their brake calipers on my audax bike and my son's Carlton fixie conversion has a Velo Orange bottom bracket.

A bit 'bling' and expensive but well worth it.

Attached photo is from my wife's road bike: the Grand Cru calipers give a lot a confidence in stopping - very fine brakes

Very nice, shame about the frame size. If it had been smaller I may have had a punt.
