Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

vintage cranks

Hey, i want to replace my old crank to something a lil more modern and standardized. i have an old stronglight crank and want something that looks similar. i have seen the ird cranks and like the look, but was wondering if anyone knows of anything a lil cheaper maybe with the same look.
this is my crank. thanks

Feel you bro. Have some of these on a Peugeot.

Would recommend older Shimano 600 or 105. Quality cranks without the retail price. Plus, there's the added bonus of not-being-locked-into propriety. And setting the chainring for a proper tension. PITA on the TAs.

Check the ebays.

This. Sugino also makes several new classic-style cranks, but you're looking at something north of $100.
