Anyone out there happen to have a Peugeot headbadge, preferably early 70's era?

I'm looking for an early 70's peugeot. Anyone know where I should begin my search? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have bought three Peugots on Craig's List over the years. I have never had to pay over $100 for good quality frames, some of which had at least the bulk of the parts in a useable fashion.

Anyone have any crank bolts for a three arm Nervar crank? HELP!?

Lee--Here's a link to the 1974 catalogue. I realize you can't order parts from it, but it should help you identify what exactly you need to find.

If this is anything like the Nervar crank on the old Raleighs, you can get by with a 7x1.25 mm in a pinch.

So the problem with the Nervar crank is not really limited to the crank bolts, which by the way are a 7.5 mm (!!!!!), rather it is the chainring itself which is a bit ovalized creating a crazy rotational problem. Grrr.

Ovalized as in damaged or ovalized as in elliptical? It could be an early ovoid ring. 7.5? Is there even a box wrench that size? You don't want to have to use an adjustable on a chainring bolt. Mon Dieu! http://iciclebicycle.blogspot.com/2009/02/elliptical-chain-ring.html

7.5mm sounds so wrong that it makes me think this crank was originally on an old british bike. 7.5mm is .30" and 5/16" is .3125". British Whitworth 26tpi would look almost identical. Are the pedal threads 9/16-20 or 14x1.25?

I'll look in the parts bin to see what I really have for Nervar/TA/Stronglight 3 arm cranks.

I've got a few french stems, one mated with a taped Juenet handlebar. you want?

I might want, provided they are not the AVA death-stems. What are you looking for in trade?

Of course they are death stems! hehehe. I don't want a trade; only to have then out of my parts bin. The parts are free.

I'm not sure if they are "AVA" or not, but they are the hollow lugged type, and i am wary of that.

The stem I replaced it with is still flexy as hell, but it has a receased top nut and takes 25.4 bars, which is all i really want.

I'll take them and hang on to them in case anyone in the group needs them down the line. There's room in my parts bin.
