I'd been thinking I should machine one for myself out of some old scrap steel blocks that I have. May as well do that before I need it. I'm thinking of putting cottered cranks on an old constructeur bike I have.
...it's steel. The single problem with it is that on some cranks, the clearance is a little narrow on the drive side.
