Hi All

Looking for an Arabesque double chainset (52 and 42 or thereabouts) to match my derailleur. Ideally the cranks would be 170-175.

Also after some vintage/matching pedals with clips if anyone has any.

Its for putting onto a carlton frame. 7 speed, rear spacing 130. If anyone could recommend a good new bb what would work with this setup that would be great too.

Cheers
Eliot

I have a VGC set of Arabesque cranks, 170 I think, and I'm pretty sure it's a 52 big ring. I'll check tonight and PM you.

Yeah, they're 170 and 52-39. I'll take some pics in the light tomorrow morning.

I have these Gipiemme Sprint pedals. They're in good working order and not missing dustcaps. Basically a replica of the Campagnolo superleggari pedals of the same era. I appreciate that they're not in perfect aesthetic condition however... £20

Was hoping for some clip pedals. No idea how modern an invention they are?!

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
