I'm looking at this bike on ebay. I live close enough to avoid the shipping costs. Since it's refinished and doesn't have much information I thought I'd get your thoughts as they are always valuable. I searched the forum for Araya 631 tubing and it seems somewhat inconclusive but most likely a butted chromemoly. Judging by the dropouts it seems like a decent frame. Also, The crank looks like chrome plated steel to me, but he said that he had it polished that way. Did Stronglight ever make a steel crank? Will it need a special puller? Thanks in advance - Brian
