Thanks to getting a cheap 2007 Avanti Blade (basic model) for $40, I've rediscovered cycling.
Anyway, the bike needs a new crankset and rear cassette. I'm all sorted for the cassette and new chain but the crankset is a Tourney FC-TX71 from Shimano. I'd like to replace it with something similar but nobody seems to sell the TX71 anymore.
I already replaced the bottom bracket (very loose and floppy UN26 with a new UN55), so I'd like to stick with square tapers. Can anyone recommend a newer part from Shimano that would be a good replacement? I'm getting good at identifying part numbers quickly, but I've just been overwhelmed with the crankset market and am boggled. I don't want to spend heaps because for now the bike is just helping me get fit again.
EDIT: I see the Alivio M410 could work, but am I going to need a different bottom bracket? Currently I'm running 68x122mm but I've seen other people say the M410 needs 68x113 to keep the chainline the same. Unless my front derailleur has enough adjustment in it I guess?
