- My Motobecane is a Taiwanese (low-end, 19780s) model, but any 165 mm left crank arm that fits the standard tapered square cotterless end ought to fit. I went on a bike-fixing binge this fall and found lots of stuff here and there for several bikes but the Harris Cyclery folks on the internet told me to look for a junk bike to find the crank arm.

I'm not much of a public speaker, but i am livin' the lifestyle (!) and hope to find ways that don't involve public speaking to further the cause of taking back our streets!
BTW: That explains the swirlies i saw in your eyes last night. Safe travels.... eb
