Hi All,

Looking for a set of cheap 175mm road cranks to use on a very old trainer bike. Doesnt really matter what brand or condition they are in, so long as they are newer than about 1990.

cheers,

Alex

Did we establish the Vision cranks on my TT bike were 175mm? I think so. Anyway, when I get some smaller ones (hopefully soon), you are welcome to them. Or were they not compatible?

Ask Christian. ;-)

Ha. Even if they are the right size there is no way I can take them off you, they are worth about 10 times the bike that they would be installed on.

Put them on ebay, silly. :)

I doubt this is what you are looking for, but I'll offer anyway: I have an old Shimano R600 compact set that could be of use. I think the crank arm is 172.5 though. They're free to anyone who wants them.
