I believe so. From memory they are different part numbers as there has been some slight differences over the years but as far as I am aware there shouldn't be a problem with the older and later cranks. But as I've not done that (knowingly at least), I'd recommend doing a little more checking. Remember to set the end float though.

Yeah, they are a 5 minute drive away. Found a curvy crank for 220 delivered. Seems about the going rate.

If you offered 500, it might work.

£220 sounds a little more then I would expect. Admittedly its been a few years since I bought one. Does that come with the rod? And any sort of guarantee with it?

And if you do go for crank replacement, you going to be doing the build yourself?

No I believe that's just the crank. Only found a few yards up north, so there is postage too. Phoned a few down south, but none seem to have one.

Yeah, going to be doing the build myself.

You've got to ask why its been sold without the rods. So you also need the bearing shells to go on the rods.

Have a look on eBay there might be something. Try internationally as well, depends on how long you have before you need the bike back running.

If all else fails I'll give you £350 for it as it is now.
