    Yo, I have a few cranksets at home, at least two are doubles I think. I'll have a check and post up this evening.

    any luck finding anything? It only needs to hold together till the end of the month so if its not in great condition I dont mind.

    hopefully someone has something they cant get rid of

    Ok found two. One is a Campag Veloce 10speed which is brand new and in good nick. Yours for 30 quid if you want it.

    Or some other non-descript one which has been used but is in good nick.
    Yours for 10 quid. Picture is of non-descript one. Am based in the city center

    cool thanks Ill take the cheapest one, I presume it will fit. I just checked this
    http://www.sheldonbrown.com/velos.html and its made me a little worried, still learning bike terminology, cranks should be universal? it says french bottom brackets have a different threading but peugeot changed to Uk threading in the 80's, my bike is from mid 80's I think, Its got rainbow decals

    Are you free tomorrow? I'm in Harolds Cross/Terenure. I left the bike in Thinkbike Rathmines, they'll fit it for 15e, sounds like an ok price

    Hey,
    Sorry, in work today! The older bottom brackets are pretty much all square taper. That means the axle bit sticking out of the bottom bracket is square, rather than round with splines. I'm on the canal, so can meet you somewhere in between me and Harold's cross. Send me a PM.
