WTB: Stronglight 49/TA (or other 5-pin) Crankset
Looking for a Stronglight 49, TA, or other 5-pin crankset as the title states. Open to square taper or cottered cranks, mainly just want a 5-pin model. Steel or aluminum is fine. For aluminum cranks, would prefer an earlier model (50's-60's) with the thinner arms, but will consider any and all options. Either just the crank arms or a full set with rings is fine.
Thanks!
Thanks!

How about a Shimano Arabesque with W-cut rings and, as I recall, those one-key install/remove bolts - $25.00 US + shipping or trade for something needed.

Randy, I believe he's looking for 50.4 BCD cranks, not the later 5-arm cranks like the Shimano 600 cranks you mention.

Assuming you mean 50.4 bcd arms, in addition to Stronglight and TA, keep an eye out for Nervar (model 631/633), Sugino (PX, Pro Dynamic, Super Maxy), Electra Ticino, Velo Orange. Zeus made one too, but it's bolt spacing is not compatible with others.

Yeah, sorry, should have clarified. Looking specifically for 50.4 BCD cranks. Thanks all for the help!

I definitely have a 50.4 5-pin Nervar I could pass on. Would that work?

The Nervars are nice since they take a standard extractor.

Since you mentioned "TA", I have both a TA Po-5-Vis "Cyclo Touriste" triple crankset (w/ axle, possible cups, too--have to look) and a Viscount (TA clone) dual crankset (less BB). The former was purchased by me in the late 70s. The latter came on a Viscount (Lambert) Aerospace bike purchased in the early 80s. Some extra rings. TA is well used, but still has a lot of life in it. The Viscount has very little use, if any at all. Interested?

The Lambert (Viscount) ones also come out with a standard extractor, IIRC. No special size crank puller needed.

I do actually have a TA and Stronglight extractor, so wouldn't have any issues on that end. But in general, a standard extractor is nice. One less tool to keep track of.

One can also adapt a 38t 130 bcd small ring to fit a 128 bcd Nervar crank. Just a little filing on each bolt hole.
