Redline crank dating

[rad_pitt]

Can anyone help me put a definitive date on these?

Cheers,
Tom

You're a gent.. thanks Glen

If it's for the cranks you have just bought on here they are the New Proline Cranks and not Old School 

 

I thought I'd posted a picture in my original message 



These are they. They aren't the twin pinch I see so often, so wondered when they were from

2004ish i think mate as paul said they are defo not old school. quite nice though aint they
think they were sid1972's then
spen69's then
mine then
Poochies then
steves and now
yours

what sort of money do these change hands for, as to the untrained unmong us they look pretty old school

[Jaymz]

You could by them New for about £90 complete Jay 

 

So not much difference then to the redline twin pinch flights then

Bit slutty this crank set then? They're definitely more aesthetically pleasing than the twin pinch and a hark back to the 401's. I like em. And for a rider, they're absolutely spot on

Fookin BIG though aint they 
Your bike would fold in half before them things bent

not realy relevent this but new twin piches are etched at the spindle end with a date , least i presume its a date mark ?   

[brummie]

here is your proline next to a 401 flight crank arm tom   

[rad_pitt]

Cheers Dave, that's a great reference 

They're bulkier than a 401, but for the money - they're great for a rider, and look more convincing than the twin pinch. Plus it saves knackering a few hundred quids worth of 401's

I've got a set of these! I got them from the bay before I knew about rad. Got them from the states and thought I was being clever and found a badly listed set of 401's. Think I paid over the odds for them and now they lie in a box with other bits and pretty much unwanted! Lol
Oh well you live n lern.  Hehe

..and now mine   I just got them off rad_pit.  Like his comments, I think they look very 401.  I have these and a new set of twin pinches; just trying to decide which one to put on a chrome/black DP Firebird build and which to put on a chrome Vincent Airzone build..

I'll probaly get shot by the era-police whatever I choose but, my bikes are riders and both the twin pinch and the above slutty single pinch both look the 401-part..

Ill post pics after I get them on the bikes..

ta,

Paul

I much prefer the look of the Proline cranks to the flight cranks, they have that oldschool look.
