LYOTARD 23 PEDALS 14X1.25 MARCEL BERTHET Touring Bike Routens 1960 Singer PE1

The Lyotard 23 returns to the catalogue with a specification that matters on French touring machines from the 1960s: a 14x1.25 pedal thread. This is the finer pitch found on period cranks, and it narrows the search immediately when you are building a Routens, a Singer, or another classic touring bike from that decade. The model carries the Marcel Berthet name, a detail that places it firmly within Lyotard's competition and long-distance heritage.

Why this thread size defines the build

The 14x1.25 thread is not the common 9/16" x 20 found on later Japanese and Italian components. It is a French standard, and matching it correctly prevents damage to the crank arm. These pedals are supplied as a pair and are made of steel, which suits the period and gives the cage the rigidity expected on a loaded tourer. The product number from the manufacturer is recorded as 0000, and the country of origin is France. Photos form part of the description; any major issue, such as pitting or a crack, would be listed here. When no such fault is stated, the condition is consistent with minor cosmetic wear or light storage marks only.

Key specifications

• Manufacturer part number: 0000
• Material: Steel
• Pedal thread: 14x1.25
• Country of origin: France

For a similar French-thread option with a slightly different cage profile, the Lyotard M23 Marcel Berthet pedals offer another period-correct route. If your project involves a 1970s Peugeot, the Lyotard 136R in M14×1.25 is also worth comparing. And when the build calls for a duralumin body instead of steel, the Lyotard 460D Duralumin sits in the same thread family.
