Thanks Fruitbat...but then i would need chain ring and BB and bolts.....it becomes quite expensive....i was hoping someone on the forum had one in their garage/shed gathering dust....perhaps a forlorn hope but if you don't ask, you don't get as my Grandmother always told me...cheers anyway.

aww, spa cycles is within spitting distance of me. good shop!
Ahhhh...could you do me a big favour...can you visit there on my behalf and ask them the best BB and BB axle length to go with their cyclotourist cranks to give a 42 [ish]mm chainline....cheers....also sent this as a pm...in case you have not read my reply...allmy dealings with Spa Cycles has been very friendly.......and as you must live in Harrogate [where my Mum's dad's father once lived]...has a Betty's.....great bike shop+Great bun and tea shop=Heaven.

I did have loads of pairs of traditional leather shoes...but chucked them!.....Now do you thinki can get a pair in my size....45?.....no way!....I had i kept mine, i too would have made a little fortune.I have found a set of Stronglight 49D cranks and TA chainset in Australia and they look the business....but some git will probably outbid at the death i suppose....me, a pessimist....yes!......But the Devil has it right.....they are the dogs bollocks.....any suggestions on Bottom bracket to use on a fixie?.....PS ...i sold some Zeus track cranks last year for £43...cost me a £10!

31338QQihZ006QQcategoryZ56197QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemThanks Dylan...i saw this one but it is only the RH crank and by the seller's own admission it is suitable for a show bike...implies not for 'real' usage..and it has 3/32'' ring..sadly!

Be careful with the 49Ds, unless the threads on the cranks are perfect you will have problems removing them as Stronlight puller are rarer than hen's teeth and they're 23.5mm as opposed to TA which are 23mm.
Here's the axle length diagram for TA;
Notice that the axle is symmetrical, I believe that the Campag 109 is a suitable replacement.

Fruitbat.....JA Stein make a suitable...Stronglight puller....and it is distributed by Ison....for £35. out of stock!...but because of all the problems you mention as the dragons say...'for that reason, i am out'.....Did you 'purchase' Provenrad's TA cranks and BB?

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen of the forum.....does anyone have a set of the of TA 165mm Cyclotourist cranks for a reasonable price with its tapers and threads in good condition?...though the odds are that no one on the forum can help and the thread bombs!
Cheers
