At the risk of loosing a hand.....
Many years ago in the heyday of the FS1E the same bike was exported from Japan to other countries - this we all know. Some countries (in Europe) had a protectionist attitude towards inports - Noteably France - and insisted that a percentage of the bike be manufactured in their country, not just assembled out of a crate. On the continent this is known as the "FS1 Franz" model. Some of the parts manufactured under licence were the pedal arms - I was told these are some of those items.

They use the same fitting as the Japan made items, but lack the crispness of foundy work. A contact came accross a moped shop "closing-down-sale", and asked if I was interested......

I bought all four sets (all they had). They have been dry stored loose, in a draw for many years and as such are not perfect - they could really do with a re-zinc, but could be ued as they are. I am retaining one set for my self - anyone else interested or do I stick them on Ebay?
I have attached a few photos...

Thankyou to all those who have emailed me or expressed an interest in these pedal arms. I will be getting back to you all individually in the the next day or so. No further notices of interest please! :huh:

I am currently taking a few more photos of each of the cranks so that you can see better what you would be getting - as to price - this is not an auction - If I wanted to auction them I would have gone to Ebay - I would rather they ended up on a bike for ridding rather than a livingroom ornament. That said I do have to pay my credit card bill. :o
