You can gently thread these Lyotards into a known BSC crank and see if they feel loose nor not.
FWIW, the only Stronglight 93s I've owned that were French-threaded were on Peugeot PX-10s; all the others had English threads either because (a) someone decided bikes sold in the Anglosphere markets should have 9/16 threads or (b) someone ran some 9/16 taps through to convert them.
This is all good info, thank you. I tried threading these on gently and couldn’t even get one rotation in, though I’ll try with some other pedals. If they happen to be English threaded I’ll be very happy.
If not, this A08 is near me and I can pick it up for $20 and use the pedals if they look like they’ll clean up alright.Anybody have an idea if they’d be French threaded? Looks like a 75-76ish model.
