are you going to ride it or just look at it?
do you want it to be era correct?
one piece are cheap, and era correct. 20 quid...
redline 400's are nice but very dear these days, for original cranks.
the new ones are double pinch, but look very similar to the originals and are a good crank.

Are the 3 peice not era correct then or are you suggesting that I'm just better with a one peice?? Probably stupid questions but I've been out of this a long while!!

build it how you want it dude, mix it up and get it on, it needs to be up to the job and feel nice if ya gonna ride it, the double pinches are cheap strong and look the part (bar one bolt) its gonna be false economy goin for 1 peice era correct if ya gonna ride her coz you will bend them quite easily and each £20 crank soon adds up.

I've never ridden with Sugino CT's, but that's what I'd go for. If you add up the cost of a 1pc crank, sealed bottom bracket, spider and chainring, you're looking at £50ish anyway so you might as well push the boat out a little more

Hi,
I went for a one piece
i also prefer the spider look chain ring than the solid one piece redline type you get with 3 piece cranks
