Some things do become unobtainium.

Not sure where you are getting your info from...
One of my favorite bikes has a Swiss bottom bracket. You ain't going to find a replacement for that on E-Bay.
The seat post is 26.8. Those can be found.
The headset is Swiss as well, but I think a French will fit.
Oh yea, it is a Estermann. I think it was build in 1963. It was a state of the art sprint bike.
