I also bought a period correct crankset for it, as the original one is not rebuildable and used some questionable construction techniques. I also found a small crack on one of the stays which looks like it is from the assembly process, and may simply be in the paint. Whatever the situation, I'm going to try to get it back on the road in a couple of weeks.
Good luck and enjoy - post pics if you can. DB
