i've seen some cranks on ebay but have not followed to see how much they go for. i am not into road bikes but i thought this was special so i bought it. i have the rear derailleur and wheels and all of the other parts. i have not seen the brakes any where. i think they are mavic 440. i really have no idea about the mavic stuff though. i have some mtb parts but no road. i believe it is a 1991 frame. that is what the previous owner said, and sorry about the blurb about being next to the u.s. you cannot help your government and its exploits.
