Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

I thought it would be tough, but this one is easy.

Those two are definitely not a match. The cups are for a loose ball bottom bracket, and the spindle for a cartridge bearing bottom bracket.

The cups will work, but before buying them ask the seller if he has a matching spindle for your bike.

But before you even call, you need to know whether your cranks are steel cotter pin cranks, or aluminum cotterless cranks that take a square taper spindle. Once you know what kind of spindle you need, you need to know the length (over all length).

Once you have the spindle spec'd then you need compatible french thread cups to match.
