Ok, so these cranks, what do you reckon?
For starters, I made a bit of a meal of removing the rh crank, thread was a little damaged at the start, in my haste I used brute force to get the extractor tool in and almost certainly haven’t helped matters. Can’t tell whether I’ve cross threaded it or what... but it looks a bit of a mess... Can you get a tap (or similar) to fit this thread and clean it up? Googling brings up the “bicycle research tc-8” but I can’t find one for sale...
Then, the left side, well it just doesn’t look square, what do you reckon? Oh, and so far I’ve failed to get the pedal off. Tried a butane torch to no avail, made a bit of a mess of my pedal spanner too...

Ooh! Royal on its way?
That’s a mega tool. One of yours?
Might just clean them up with a wire brush etc and see if the tool goes in a bit easier... not mad keen spending money on this although I do quite fancy building and riding it. No one else will...

Re:
Not much info out there re British Eagle, Wikipedia page is particularly useless.
I know they underwent lots of changes of ownership etc, and were associated with other brands like Coventry Eagle and Falcon. But I wonder where bikes (and more specifically frames) like this were actually built?

Re:
Coventry. Or Taiwan.
I wouldn't worry about the cranks too much, if you go to re-use them just do them up real tight and use plenty of threadlock on the nuts/bolts.
If they work loose then they're probably fubar, if they stay on then you can worry about removal in a few years time.
