Good day to all,

Apologies to all, as I have cross posted this to several lists.

I am still looking to acquire a set of 170mm or longer Sugino PX crank arms. They seem to be as scarce as "hens teeth". And yes, I know that St. John's has them listed on eBay at the moment, but till I convert pounds to AU dollars and pay their ridiculous shipping fee, I can buy a set of T/A's.

These are the Japanese version of the TA Pro 5 Pin cranks with Cyclo-Touriste chainrings. Check here for a photo of my crankset - http://www.chainringtransitauthority.com\Sugino_PX.jpg - and no comments on the rusty bike bits, this bike is a workhorse not a showpony!!

I had a gentleman reply that he had a 175mm set to trade but it had French pedal threads. Can the threads be changed to English without much trouble?

Also I will put in a standing order for any reasonably priced Nitto Technomics or Technomics Deluxe stems anyone wants to get rid of.

Please contact off list.

Thank you,
