WTD 1950s/60s/70s 175mm cranks/chainset

For a 1950s Claud Butler. Will consider anything as long as its 175mm and "in keeping" with the frame - doesn't have to be a period part.

Was thinking about Stronglight 49D or TA, or even a cottered set.

I've a set of old cottered cranks somewhere in the spares box, one of several I got when doing up a '62 Freddie Grubb - not sure of the age, but definitely not modern. Will go digging later today and try and get some pictures/measurements.

Thanks, Ted - best of luck.

Just found them - pictures below...crank length is only 165mm c-to-c (never measured them before) - 48t ring. The chrome is worn on the drive side crank, and a little on the non-drive side - both the usual heel rub. I've never even fitted them - had some others that I used.

Sorry, I need 175s. If I have shorter ones the bike might look the part, but I would end up not riding it!
Thanks all the same.

No worries!
