So I thought I'd be a brave lad and investigate a rouge squeak somewhere in the pedals/crankset of a Motobecane Mirage I have. After I realized I didn't have the parts, I began screwing a nut back onto the bolt that i *think* holds the crank arm on. While doing this I over tightened and.. snapped the bolt.

So my bike needs work and I am 'other-side' shade of green in the bike world. Plus, I've heard nightmares about replacing parts on french bikes. Is it worth scouring San Francisco for that one bolt/piece, or do you think it's more worth my time going for a full crank arm or crankset replacement? And, if the latter, what kind of parts am I looking for?
Thanksamuch for any input.
