They are 150mm and made of chromoly



They look like a cross between profile and redline and have a cooks spider

I'm sure I have seen them before, are they a Profile Mini?  Any markings on the inside of the arms at all

Actually they are a square taper mounting too so probably not a Profile crank but I am sure I have seen them before, just need to rack my brains  :LolLolLolLol:

Quality TIG welding too, are they a Kastan made crank?

I would imagine they are a track chainset so somewhere like  http://www.lfgss.com/ might be able to shed some light.

I think they're good looking things whatever they are :coolsmiley:
Just a bit of a shame they're so short.

They are very much like CW or Terry Cable cranks, if it wasn`t for the welds I`d have said they were them:





I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
