A new crankset would make this bike very happy

The problem is that the bottom bracket is French threading and is of course the rarest size ever.
No one has any idea on how to even take the crank off because no modern tool will fit it.
Plus it's super heavy and has other issues.
PS you'll get to see my new bike really soon.
