Help identify cottered crank
 
4 Attachment(s)
Trying to identify this vintage cottered crank, guessing early 70’s, found on budget Gitane. Any ideas about the bottom bracket manufacturer? looks like J W Kewax best I can tell

MICMO at that time tended to use chainsets from Haubtmann (Solida).

Yah, sorry about that, was having resizing issues.

I think I see the 'Cyclo' logo on the chain ring.

The English and French companies had similar logos.

Cycle's bottom bracket fittings are likely REWAX MD. This maker also produced headsets and pedals.

Fixed cup in this photo is octagonal indicating it is Swiss thread.

Your fixed cup will have two flats as it is metric/french thread.

Cyclo of France chainwheels were frequently fitted by bicycle manufacturers to other makers crank arms. Here they are mounted on a set of NERVAR arms -
