If you get this defensive every time you provide incorrect advice and someone points it out, you're in for a long haul. Your Motobecane is Swiss threaded; the Peugeot is almost certainly French. Feel free to correct me on this point if you have additional information.
I'm genuinely interested to see Sheldon's recommendation for threading an ISO bb into a Swiss shell -- can you point us to that particular bb page (there are several)?
