Didn't they come on Motobecane Grand Records too? I'm pretty sure the shop I worked at was still putting this very crank (capped pedal holes and all) on bikes into the early 80s.

I have a set of triple bolts for this crank. 36 tooth rings for it seem hard to find but I haven't looked very hard for one; I know they exist. It'll make a pretty cool triple if I do find one.
