I am afraid that I disobeyed the forum rules and purchased a lovely 2009 Langster.
It's mostly silver but with some black bits.
The crankset is Sugino Messenger Zen 172.5mm in black.

I totally shafted the left crank arm through a combination of awesome power/utter lack of maintenance.

If anyone has or knows where I can find a replacement arm (of any brand) in black or silver, I would be very grateful.
My 5 or 6 seconds of googling totally failed.

The bike looks like this:

MADAM

Nope. Sorry.
I haven't done it yet but I think the best solution is to buy a new set of cranks in 170 or 175 and switch them on to the existing chainring.
Or just buy a whole new chainset.
I won't be buying 172.5 again!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
