Sorry for the misunderstanding
.......Wasn't aiming at you specifically. It's just every time one of these French threaded threads comes up someone has to suggest drilling this, tapping that, so on and so forth.
I just don't really see the point in todays day and age. I'm sure a few years ago prior to the advent of interweb trade it was an issue when parts supplies dried up stateside. I do see the derailleur problem becoming an issue soon though.....BB's not so much. There are 2 companies currently making them (They are just to expensive) and VeloOrange has a prototype in hand. VO has talked about headsets too.....
Rant over.......Sorry peeps. I think I'll go ride my bike now!
