I would like to use the Normandy hubs that came with my Mercier for single-speed purposes but I'm
wondering if anyone happens to know what the threading on the hubs is, whether it's metric,
standard, or other, and where i can source single speed freewheels to match it if it's
non-standard. Thanks.

It's either standard or French. In all probability it's standard.

I know of no source for French-thread single freewheels. Sheldon's webpages are always helpful:

If it is indeed French thread, I recommend heading over to Citybikes (20th and Ankeny) and getting a
similar, standard threaded hub from their used parts bins.

Oddly enough, I have an old "Schwinn Approved" Normandy hub shell sitting by my computer right now.
It's keeping the clutter in one place

Depends when it was made. Up through the mid-70's, they were probably French. They later switched to
BSI, even for French-brand cycles.
