....any square taper crankset you can come up with works if you do the conversion. I just had this one lying around.
Of the era, the Suntour stuff works the best and is easily found with an attached hanger, usually needed.
I used centerpull brakes because i like the way they work, had some in the proper reach.
I think maybe I built the wheels. Mine came as a bare frame, so there was no reason not to go wild on the conversion.
Had it been in better shape, with more of the original components on it, I might have exercised a little more reserve.
