Within the French vein, I've been looking for the Electra remake of the TA Cyclotourist crankset. You can see it on the (off-topic) Electra Ticino, which is a nice homage to the constructeur bikes, but not a KOF by any means, EXCEPT for the crankset. Electra doesn't list their special parts on the website, unfortunately.
