Did you guys see the pictures of the prototype CW Racing Pro Thunder cranks? Made by Bullseye Products. Limited run of 25 to 30 sets.

Now that is a lot of welding.....

No price as of yet but keep your eyes peeled....

Made by Bullseye for the retro CW bikes, aparantly the finished version will not have Bullseye stamped on the powerdisc.

That would be Jeff Haney's set then

they'll be sold out in no time regardless of $$$

They look a little untidy with all that welding for me.

Still the finished article hopefully will look better.

So a set of bullseye cranks with a cw plate slapped on the side for an extra few hundred dollars then

Do look a bit OTT

A set of bullseye cranks with a cw logo on them with a few more hundred quid slapped on them?
Are you sure? Bullseye cranks go for shed loads of money. Last week an abused used set went on ebay for £420!

You are dead right there Wardy, those welds look like they could cut you they are so rough.

according to juan these arent the finished product

but they aint gonna be cheap

not too sure why there doing these cos im sure my old cw cranks were the same as anlums

Discostu · « **Reply #12 on:** February 12, 2012, 09:46 AM »

I agree the welds do look shite. I would just hunt down a second generation bullseye crankset. Much nicer than those.

them welds need to go down the middle and round the cw plate , look nice cranks then as long as the rest of the welding aint done by Helen Keller

As a time served craftsman qualified welding engineer they are an utter mess...

WARDY · « **Reply #15 on:** February 12, 2012, 10:12 AM »

if they aint the finished product then why go get em blinged up and put em on show to the public , surely they know they look plop , are they just judging peeps reactions to see what little they have to do to em , passionless pile of crud , me nan could have done better and shes had a stroke infact thats what they should be called , CW stroke cranks

I think they looked better before they were chromed $:-\$

steve69 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 12, 2012, 10:30 AM »

I thought like looked a lot better raw $:-\$

Looks to me like Bullseye had a crash with Diamondback and ended up as CW

he should be given his p45 then if he aint up to it , get someone who can , its about the brand not the welder surely and they aint gonna be cheap so they should be top notch

They do look rubbish, I would buy them if they were the same price as a new school set of cranks, but they'll be the same price as a new ta cruiser I reckon, I'd rather wait for some repop aerospeeds.

Why would you ?

Why not just buy decent n/s cranks

These CW are n/s and you say they look rubbish , but you'd buy them

Solvent abuse is bad for you Lucas $:-\$

Wardy's bang on the money

, madness this

People are sucked in by the fact it resembles an original hard to find part , just like ALL the repro bobbins

Poor quality , cheap produced , big profit , gullible buyers , happy manufacturer/seller

Just look at the Profile anniversary cranks ,,shoddy finishing ,, but sold loads

stick with my profiles
