/uj sick crank I found on a kids bike, wish more did shit like this

Mid 70s Astra Easyfold French folding bicycle. Swapped out original rims for set of BMX wheels with 20x2.25 tires. Had to remove the fenders because of the larger tires. Sturmey archer was borked so it's running a single speed setup on a threaded freewheel. Managed to miraculously find a 40mm pressed cup square taper BB made by SunLite, from Poland. Looks to be the only thing in existence to upgrade the old cottered one piece crank set, which lets me run non French pedals as well. Ran Lyotards anyway for flex. Running a 170mm crank set on a 32/19 setup now. Brooks C17 saddle. Might fool around and get a 22.0mm quill adapter to run modern bars, but who knows. Fun to tool around town on. Might mess around and bike pack through Europe.
