Crank rethreaded: 175 to 150mm!

Tristan's original crank (pictured above) was the weight of a large
baby. I got a metal shop locally to drill new holes and thread them
incorrectly for pedals (at a cost of $50). Then I borrowed a crank tap
tool and rethreaded the holes right and left. So to speak.

    My feeling when I read your comment was proud, then rolled over to sheepish and foolhardy when I looked at the link you provided to a different solution. Thanks - where's my time machine?
