Stronglight 93 52/42T cranks - Sugino Mighty Competition 52/42T Cranks on some 1972-74 and later TdF bikes.

Mine has the Sugino's. Picked it up and brought it home this evening

I should be able to pull the Sugino's with the crank tool that I already have, right?

yes, you should start a new thread about your gitane TdF and what you plan to do with it.

If you have a standard 22 mm crank puller, it'll work just fine on Sugino cranksets.

Vintage TA (23 mm) and Stronglight (23.35 mm) are the exceptions to the rule.

In my experience the 70s and 80s Japanese cranks like Sugino have worked with a standard square taper crank puller so yes it should work,
