Current standard = 22 mm
Old standards
23 mm (some TA)
23.15 (stronglight0
23.5 (very special TA's)
I decided to bite the turkey and go cold bullet and got a stein
puller ($50) and the VAR #393 shop-wrench puller (23 mm AND 22 mm)
which is a bargain at $25.95, both from harris cyclery:

I have two stronglight 93 cranks, both were cheap, plus lots of cheap
rings (as low as $3 a ring), and a TA professional crankset, and this
is the price you might pay for using vintage componentry and keeping
it in good working order. The real stronglight puller product is
enormous and uses a "Tommy bar" which imho you don't want to lug
around, not even in your toolbox. See the completed auctions from
hilarystone on ebay for pictures if you don't believe me.
Be thankful that J. A. Stein is making a product that is superior to
the original stronglight product. get yours today, patronize harris
cyclery.
