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

 :coolsmiley:

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  :daumenhoch:

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 8)

Cheers Dave, that's a great reference  :4_17_5:

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   :10_2_12:

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.
