Crank set help

Hi Guys
just need some help. I have a 26' SE racing quadangle. its got  American bb and a three piece 180mm crank with a 19mm spindle. will a european crank set fit it? or do i have to have the entire thing replaced. trying to make it as light and quick as possible and i am pretty sure the stock crankset is not up to much. thanks chaps.

pickle:
Put up some pictures, you'd be surprised how strong they'll be.

stupops:
just use the bike for cruising. i am too old these days to thrash around! i was looking to lighten the bike and get a smoother quicker ride.

pickle:
They'll probably hollow steel cranks which will be about as light as most cranks to be honest.

Bung up some pictures of your bike and people might be able to suggest bits to change for you?

Lighter kevlar tyres?
New lighter wheel set?

VOIVOD:
 No a Euro BB will not fit.Unless you use one of these..http://harriscyclery.net/product/truvativ-bottom-bracket-conversion-american-to-euro-adapter-1335.htm

A few companies make them,shop around:)
