Perhaps you have some help for me laying in the garage or basement. I have a late 80s 7-speed
DiamondBack, and am looking for a Shimano double or triple crankset: 175mm arm length, 5
bolt/128mm spacing, preferably ~39 inner chainring (not 42), and in decent shape with lots of life
left. I've also posted this on the marketplace newsgroup, but a hunch that a part like this is
sitting in someone's old stock. Thanks,

Why not just put a new one on?

I have an old 7 speed that I use for the bus and going to the store. It was in need of new
driveline. I picked up a brand new Deore (all black) 22-32-44 crank, Shimano 11-34 freewheel (yes,
they make 11 tooth freewheels now), UN-52 bottom bracket, and SRAM chain for $85 (not counting
shipping). The beater had a 48 tooth big ring and a 14 tooth small cog on it so I actually increased
the gear inches with this new setup. It breathed new life into my old beater!

Cambria has the cheap 175mm 22-32-44 Deore cranks ($40), chain and BB that I spoke of, but you got
to look around for the 11-34 freewheel.
