its the bottom bracket that fits to the frame not the cranks, so presuming that frame has an american BB (ie push in cups and bearings) and you have that with the cranks itll be fine.

There is one on ebay at the moment, but I have been wondering about its bottom bracket.  It looks as though it has had the bearings knocked out of the cups to make a mid set up.  

If it isn't the one on ebay and it is complete then it should fit as the Reactor and Pacer used a 'normal' US bottom bracket.

must admit ive never heard of them, but only by name, got any pics?  (I think i know the ones you are talking about though) and mid 80's would seem about right.

I am not 1000% sure that the bearings have been popped out of the cups, just looks that way.  However replacement cups will set you back about a tenner.

I would wait to see if they are definately missing the cups and then if they are put a want ad on this site to see if anyone has any they do not need.

Other than that search, search, search...
