My friend Jim Papadopoulous, years ago, gave me a set of Duprat cranks that are among the loveliest I have ever owned. They are small 5-pin circle, a very small and tapered octagonal cross section, and HOLLOW. Weight is almost exactly that of TA cotterless with the same attachment system - but these are steel. Do you need help taking the Duprats off your hands? :-)
