    I kinda assumed the OP would have spotted if his cranks were cottered ;)

  • no it is a cotterered i knew that
    are there any fixed cranks for them?

  • I run cotters on my bike. Vintage parts on vintage bikes mate...

  • I'm betting on the power spline, it's the weirdest and rarest.....

    Glue the cranks on??

    You just need a single chainring. I've no idea what chainline you'd end up with though. I seen plenty of fixed gears with cottered cranks, so its well doable. Just might require a lot of chainline work. Have a look around EBay.

    Something like this (in the US though :( )

    Probs easy enough to find in the UK too.

  • Williams c34 is a common quality crank for cottered search vintage in fleabay for other good old kit try classic lightweight website for details of old lovelyness

  • Chainlines are fine with cotterless - they are only designed to run one ring and usually go on bikes with a Sturmey Archer hub, so about 117mm spacing.

    Of course they are shit, so only worth putting on a vintage build that you don't intend to ride much.

  • so have we established whether or not this is a cottered bb or not?

    my advice is to ditch it and get an average track crankset like miche primato advanced or sugino messengers.
