[animal]

R they hard 2 come across after one in 175 or 180 crank length . I take it they all came in black only

They seem to show up often on the US bay Steve ... always black and I'm pretty sure they were either 165mm or 170mm 

[meticulous]

think they were all 165 or smaller....

They came in 5 1/2", 6 1/2", and 7 1/2" lenghts. They initially came in that matt off-black metal protect finish and later available in chrome finish. Early ones where also available with "ASHTABULA" stamped down the arm but on the arm "hip" not the "face" like most manufacturers stamped them. Also ashtabula cranks are stamped across the centre with an "A" and the date of manufacture 

Sorry Steve none of mine are for sale mate
