Someone would have had to drill the cranks out and put in a larger spindle of which I am not sure was ever made. There was an old larger shimano style that tried to put the pedal bearing inside the crank arm but I can’t imagine this making its way to your much newer bike. What pedals are too small for this?

I am a long way from an expert on any of this. All I can tell you is that the pedals shafts on my other bikes are much smaller than the one on the Colnago...
