Outer chainring is a fixed 52 and inner is a 42. Both are alloy but show little wear. Supplied with alloy chainring spacers and chromed chainring bolts.

Square-taper alloy arms stamped JAPAN 80A 170 as well as the PEUGEOT engraving... tapers are in perfect condition, it's not been removed many times IMO!

The pedals threads were French but I ran a British 9/16" spindle through them from the inside... there will be no issues provided you copperslip your British pedal threads and if in doubt get LBS to run a 9/16" tap through them!

Might sound like a bodge (ok it was) but I got away with it as the alloy is so soft.

EDIT - both arms have now been professionally re-tapped to 9/16"

The whole set weighs 613 grams

I had an identical one (with french thread also) but with standard spider configuration, it was manufactured by SR, there's a few minor deviations on the back of the crank arms but I'd be certain it was an SR.
get it on LFGSS, they'll heft out ur asking price and more I suspect, especially in that cond.

cheers, could be useful for a 52/20 or 52/18 fixed or singlespeed set-up I guess - might look into it but thought I'd offer it up here first
