What is the bottom bracket threading on these?

(Responding over a year later...)

Was this the one you saw?

I had it built up briefly, but I stripped it down again last winter with the plan of doing something about some problems with the paint and give it some decals, so now it's hanging on my wall again waiting for warmer weather.

I'm pretty sure yours is the one I was somewhat interested.

Glad it found a good home ... even on a wall temporarily. And yeah, it definitely needs decals.

it will be nice to see another Gitane Pro getting completed.
I'm building up an almost complete Gitane Pro I recently acquired from a fellow BF member.
Just need to build up the wheelset using 32H GL330 rims and Spidel 700 low flange hubs I recently found. I also have to find the correct pedals for it (Maillard 700) and I will have all the components I need to complete.
Tried to find a correct yellow turbo saddle for it, but they're like hen's teeth out there. The SLG Turbo I have in black will have to do.

I ended up buying this frame from the OP (Adam) and building it. I sold it about a month ago. It was a 52 and I really need a 54. This frame was interesting in that it was French threaded.

Glad you finally got your dream frame. I am jealous. I prefer the frame you have.

The yellow saddles are tough. You could go the Lemond route and ride a Avocet.

Anywho here are pics of the frame that started this party built up.
