I stopped by a local bike shop and got a 3BT crank axle which seems to work for the Moto Scripted cranks, if not I have the Stronglight 93s. The Moto cranks are new, the 93s are used. Both look fine on the bike.
Are all Huret dropouts French? Are all Campy dropouts standard or British style? So it looks like it gets a Cyclone GT derailleur set, a Sedisport chain, (Came with the bike) one of the two cranks I have here.
I went ahead and swapped over the tires, I mounted up a set of IRC skinwall 27 1 1/4 tires and put the original Michelins away, and I started to mount the bar end shifters. It should be a sharp looking bike when it's done. It would be nice to have the original derailleurs, but it'll shift better with the Suntour Cyclones anyhow.
I also went with red cloth tresostar bar tape, and put the original that came with the bike away with the tires. I've thought about building the second bike up as original as possible and just boxing it up and saving it for future use. Ride one, save one for 20 or so years down the line. Their a bit rare to see now, it'll be rarer in 2030. I can take my time and hunt down all the original parts and pack it back up like brand new.
