French would be better, but seems to me a std one would work (unless I shouldn't cut 25x1 threads on a std steerer because the deeper threads would overly weaken it)
Anyone with a bad fork but good steerer?
I have a Motobecane fork, the legs are bent but I believe the steerer is fine. It's a big one. Want photos?
