I have an old Gitane that I have been riding and working on for the past year and the crank seems to be fairly worn out. Is this part fairly interchangeable between models, styles, and manufacturers of bikes? The issue is that if I hold one pedal firmly in place I can rotate the other pedal about an inch. This makes riding interesting to say the least. If cranks are interchangeable can someone point me to a guide on crank replacement?
