Broken Crank

A young man turned up this morning pushing his friends bike which had a one piece chain set with a broken arm.  It appears his friend, who is quite large, was just riding his bike and snapped the crank arm off.  Unfortunately, as the bike is from the 1980’s and has a overlarge bottom bracket shell getting a new replacement is impossible, so at the moment we are going through our stock of used spares trying to find something that will fit. If that draws a blank there seems to be no alternative but to scrap the bike!
