Got Hit, Need Crank / Advice
long story short, my bike went under the back wheel of a van on my way to work today. Frame is intact, but I needed a new wheel and crankshaft. Got the wheel, but I had a problem with my crank, because my LBS did not have the part. I have a pista, and the stock crank set (truvativ I believe), which apparently has an irregular fitting. My question is if there are other crank sets that I can find that will fit, or do I have to search the land for this particular crank. BTW, It is only the right crank that is bent, so if I can just get that piece that would be great.
I could use some advice, because despite the fact that I ride all day every day, I am pretty juvenile when it comes to this kind of thing. Thanks ...

If it's an ISIS bottom bracket/crank interface, then there are other cranksets available; for instance, Nashbar lists a couple of ISIS house-brand cranksets. Is the Truvativ crank a splined interface with internal bearings? That would be ISIS. Finding just a right crank arm could be hard and possibly not cost-effective.

I haven't tried calling the company, but my LBS guy told me that the Bianchi frame is guaranteed for life....however, I am pretty sure their policy for the frame and components changes if it gets run over by a van....it won't be covered

assuming you are not a troll...
1- wrong forum, try ssfg
2- any track/ss (or convert a road double) crank/BB will do. only thing to be aware is sometimes you need the correct BB spindle length.
