Spidel 106 crankset + pedals, 52-42t, 170mm

Straight from the golden age of baguettes, berets, and buttery-smooth bottom brackets comes this très magnifique Spidel 106 crankset and Spidel Maillard 700 RA pedal combo. Made in France in the 1980s (when shoulder pads and mustaches ruled the world), this dynamic duo was the dream team of the 1985 Spidel catalog—back when catalogs were printed on paper and smelled like ambition.

The crankset, forged by Stronglight for Spidel, features 170mm arms and classic 52/42t rings—perfect for dropping your friends on a climb and looking très chic while doing it. The pedals? Oh, mon ami—crafted by Maillard with French threads (14mm x 1.25) because why make it easy? They spin like a good bottle of Beaujolais and pair perfectly with toe clips, leather straps, and a confident disregard for modern standards. The crankset has a square taper ISO spindle interface, making it compatible with various vintage bottom brackets.

Whether you're finishing a period-correct restoration or just want your bike to exude more savoir-faire, this Spidel combo is like cycling with a croissant in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. (Don't actually do that.)

Pre-owned in good condition. Note that the anodized surface of the crank arm is worn in several areas.
