Crank arms usually do not develop cracks there, it could be a fluke.
Yes, my research on the Web (and some posters here) indicate that the Mighty breaks at the end of the fluting design near the pedal. It really looks like its on the surface.
In addition....the original owner (and only owner) is a guy of slight build. Maybe he had a different build years ago, but this fellas is several inches smaller than me. His son was there when I bought the bike. Again, his son (probably in his mid 30s, is not a big guy; maybe 165lbs and 5'9-10". The origjnal owner was a recreational rider; i just think he never used this bike hard.
