Help finding Red S Crank Arm
Hi All,
I've recently inherited a Revell Romany Touring Bike from my father. He ordered it from Beta Bikes (West End Lane, London) some time during 1984. It has all it original running parts except for a left crank arm.
I'm having trouble finding any information about the crankset. It has 'Red S' written on both the crank arm and the chain rings of which there are two, 52 and 32. Does anyone have any idea who made this or where I'd be able to get a replacement?
Someone else was looking for the exact part a few years ago and here's a link:

Hope you can help and look forward to hearing from you.

pretty sure that this was ID'd as a Stronglight product, based on the chainrings and the 86BCD.
However, you may never find one with that "Red S" logo, since it seems to be pretty rare, perhaps was a house-brand.
The one that is a pretty close match (although with a Stronglight brand) is the "new style 99". and might be slightly easier to search for and find:

Thanks unworthy.
I've seen this reference before and its a shame its so complicated to find. I think that it was a component marketed my Madison. Thanks for the link, the arms and rivet holes seem to be almost exactly the same.
