On close inspection, they seem to be sporting one piece cranks and the guy doing the 'no footer' seems to be missing a pedal  :D

When did one piece cranks start in production then?? And why were all my 'family' 26'ers sporting the super 'cotter pin' cranks  :yahoo_silent:

My guess is OPC's have been around from the 30's or even before in USA, a lot of bikes in the US still come with a OPC and American BB.

Great pics BTW I reckon they are genuine OK.
