I am in need of some major help on my swiss army bike. I have had mine for some time now, but a few years ago the crank axle broke in half while I was riding it. The only source of parts I had wanted $120 for one, which I thought was ridiculous. I just recently found a place that sells them for $15, so I bought one. The problem now is over the last few years I have misplaced the other parts, and I have no idea what they are. So, I have the crank arms, the axle, and the bearings, I'm just missing the bearing races. Can any of you guys tell me where to find them, or what they look like?

What I need (for both sides)

Can you post a better picture of just the crank arm area?

Here are some pictures. Does anybody know of anyone who is very knowledgeable, or has parts for these? Thanks.

You have to determine the proper threading. IF it really is Swiss, things are more difficult than the "standard" British threading.

I have a Swiss thread bottom bracket set in my bin. as I recall, it's the same as French thread but left hand thread on the left side. PM me if it's something you need.

Yep, the bike is really swiss military issue (its not one of the fake ones). I guess that just means hard to find.

Thanks for the offer benjamin, but I think I am going to try to find the original parts.

My brother owns a Swiss Army bike and I seem to recall he said he found an informative web site on them. Of course, it was in Swiss, but he was able to dig through it enough to get the information he needed. PM me if you want me to try to track down some info.

I have a pretty decent amount of info. on the bikes, I am just having a though time finding parts. Thanks though.
