Can you help. I am a bit new to all this but recently bought myself this Bob Jackson - I think it is 1956 one careful owner - then he sold it to me! The crank set was original to the bike and recently i believe the spindle has bent and needs replacing. However it is such an unusual shape that even Bob Jackson are recommending I install a new crank set as this cannot be repaired or replaced. I think this bike needs its original cranks - i love the look of them and don't want to replace them with a modern set. What shall I do??
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BEFORE?
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
DO YOU KNOW OF A MODERN SET THAT COULD NEARLY REPLICATE THE LOOK OF THE OLD?
DO YOU KNOW A GREAT MECHANIC WHO WOULD TAKE THIS ON AS A PROJECT?
I really want to get back on the road so am tempted to give in and just get a new set installed. PLEAE HELP ME!!
Thank you!
Phil
