Thanks [MENTION=207730]3speedslow[/MENTION]. Good idea. I've got a few cranks but none of them seem to be the one yet. I've got a Dura Ace FC-7700 but that seems too high zoot for this bike. I've got a pair of aluminum cranks with triple steel chainrings that could work from a Trek 800.
I'm thinking of making this a single chainring to keep in simple. Maybe I'll put the mountain bike triple on for now and get the bike operational with the original wheels just to get riding it and then see how much I like it and then figure out how to proceed.
