Got the option of a takagi tourney 170 or sugino ct 175 3pc, what would be the More era correct crank for an 83 ripper?

Cheers in advance,

Neil

100% agree, a one piece will look so much better than either of the cranks you listed.

As Sean and Dave said

Or If you're dead set on one of the two mentioned ,,it has to be the Takagi Tourney it's the right era and race specific really

The CT was seen on builds from more mid eighties, race or freeestyle being chromo mo and produced 84 onwards

3 piece snobbery all the way from me.
2nd gen Profiles or a nice set of Campy Stradas.

Bloody hate Profile cranks, hated them bitd still can't stand them now.

Campy's are gorgeous but too damn sexy for a PK Ripper

If we are talking ANY cranks for a Ripper

I'm biased

Ripper have chunky frames so need a chunky crank

Shimano DX

Personally i like a Redline Full wrap crank with chainwheel,

kungfunky · « **Reply #17 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:24 PM »

I had a Sugino Maxy Cross 3 piecer in blue back in '83 on my Ripper and it never let me down and i.m.o. looked great. I've got a Tioga 1 piece on my current loopy Ripper,still looks cool.
