VeloOrange carries them as well.
Match the spindle length and taper (ISO v. JIS taper) to the type of crank arm that you buy. Velobase.com is a good place to start to find that particular piece of information about your crank arms if you pick up something old and used.
I didn't know there was such a thing, but I measured the bb shell width and it was about 73mm, which is consistent with what Sheldon's article says. So this wouldn't work. Basically I need a super wide bottom bracket. With regular english threading.

You said earlier that you tried a modern crank on your old bottom bracket and it gave a bogus chainline - yup. What you need is an OLD crank...with an offset that matches the spindle that you have.
Cranks are matched to a particular bottom bracket spindle width in order to give an appropriate chain line. Measure the spindle width, and then look for 175mm cranks that use that width. You are probably going to have to find an older crank in order to come up with a good match. Again, Velobase.com usually can be relied upon to supply the necessary data about older cranks, including the appropriate spindle width.
Another thing to think of - did you actually check to see if the bottom bracket in your bike is threaded 26tpi? The bottom bracket on that bike was made by SunRace, not Raleigh, so there is a decent chance that it is threaded the standard 24 tpi. Get an old bottom bracket and see if it threads in easily. Emphasis on easily. Don't force it. If it does, you can use a 73mm mountain bike bottom bracket of the appropriate spindle width.

i usually have three keepers. it's the perfect number.
a fourth or fifth might be in the queue to sell...
but i look around now, and that number's grown to nine. wtf?
hard to sell bikes in december...
and hard to turn down an all-original '72 motobecane grand record for $100.

How many bikes in your stable?
We moved not too long ago. Downsized to a smaller place. That meant selling the Specialized Allez and the Diamondback Haanjo. So, I am currently down to 1.5
1.) 2017 New Albion Homebrew - steel frame built up with SRAM Apex 1X

.5) 2014 Lynskey Peloton - titanium frame currently being rebuilt as a 1X as well. It's just a rolling chassis at the moment.

I have space in the garage for 1 more bike, but that would be the limit.

two years since my last post in this thread when i had nine. nine? wtf?
anyway, one of my four keepers cracked a few months ago. i sold the frame for $40 yesterday. i replaced it with two others. so now i have five. that's not counting the three others i'm selling. lol.
.
sometimes when you buy a used bike you have to buy two or three as donors or "backup."

Very nice man !
Down to one for me and one incoming :
Colnago C64 Campy 12s currently and Pinarello Grevil+ incoming.
I've came to the point that riding on the road is becoming extremely dangerous so I'm moving to gravel..

Seven, all of which get mileage every year. I named the tires after the name of each bike below because I always start a new bike build with the tires I want to ride, then build the spec from there. Even the frame is less important than the tires to me:
1. Hampsten Max with Schwalbe G-One Speed 30c tubeless. Set up as a rain bike with full fenders and flaps (I live in Seattle), this bike gets 40-50% of my ride time in a year.
2. Mosaic RT1d with Schwalbe Pro One 28c tubeless. New bike a few weeks ago, set up as a plush but fast road bike with Enve 3.4 disc wheels, Red eTap
3. Argon 18 Nitrogen Pro with Conti 4000S 23c. Fast road bike with Hed Jet Black 6 wheels and Dura Ace drivetrain
4. Turner Cyclosys #1 with Vittoria Terreno Dry 40c tubeless. Gravel bike with super wide Knight 29 Race rims and Ultegra drivetrain. Also doubles as back-up/pit bike for CX races
5. Turner Cyclosys #2 with a few different 40c gravel tires which I use in non-USAC/UCI CX races tubelss...because I weigh 180# and have no business on 33mm tires on a CX course. Force 1 drivetrain. This bike won two races and got two podiums this CX season and last, so the tires are at least not slowing me down.
6. Salsa Timberjack Titanium with 29x2.6 Schwalbe Hans Dampf tires, wide Ibis 942 rims, XX1 Eagle. Light XC/trail bike
7. Ibis Ripmo with Maxxis DHF 29x2.5, Ibis 942 rimes, XX1 Eagle, Saint brakes. Heavy duty trail bike
I'd have a hard time parting with any of them because they all have a purpose in my year-round riding.

Road, CX with 2 sets of wheels to double as a winter road bike, and 120mm FS MTB. The MTB is slightly undergunned or overgunned depending on the local trail but overall I have a pretty perfect 3 bike setup for my area.

Pretty sure I've replied to this before, but can't find it.
Six, more or less.
2014 Pivot Les carbon hardtail MTB
2011 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR aluminum MTB (soon to be replaced by a Pivot Switchblade)
2013 Surly Ogre MTB, steel rigid singlespeed
2010-ish Motobecane Century carbon road (bought used from a friend)
'70s Schwinn Varsity in pieces awaiting some restoration and reassembly
And the newest addition:
2019 Giant Revolt Advanced 0 gravel bike. I think with some road-specific wheels and tires it will mostly replace the Motobecane.

Down to one
