Sometime in the early '80s French bike manufacturers started switching to British thread and
standard British tube diameters.
Here's my question: Is it safe to assume that a French bike with English tube diameters (e.g., 28.6
mm vs. 28.0 mm DT) will also have English threaded BB and headset?
Thanks, Art Harris

No, I don't think so.

Why not? Actually, he's probbaly correct. I can't think of a Metric BB bike built with Imperial
tube, offhand. But I'm uncertain it's an absoulte.
