Even if you know the style of the crank, I sure would appreciate knowing how to look it up.
It's such a great bike, but it's geared for the pancake-flat polders of Holland, not the hilly coastal desert of San Diego County.

Pity that the chaincase makes changing rear flats such a PITA, because thanks to it, I'm still on the original chain that came with the bike after 10,000+ miles and 21 years!
Safe riding this weekend!
What's under the cap on the right crank arm? And what does the left crankarm look like?

I'd guess that it's a standard square-taper crank under all of that. You might be able to replace it with an aluminum single-speed/track crankset, but the chaincase complicates things. Not many cranks will have the room between the crankarm and the chainring to fit the chaincase.
