I have a NOS Stronglight 300lx crankset ( from mid '80's) with 172.5 arms with 52-42-32 rings It comes with a 122mm bottom bracket (old loose ball style) but you could use a newer cartridge assy with it. It's fairly wide Q. I would part with it for less than an XD2 . It will work fine with 7 or 8 speed chains. I can link a pic tonight if your are interested
