170mm Shimano 600 cranks..... any good?

They look the part but what do i know 

[Peter J]

Very tidy on early builds 

Most kids couldnt afford Campy's and used 600's

Got them on my Direct Links bro. Have a look in the museum 

[mattuknc]

I think they look ok.  (Tel's DL)

Cheers guys, thought i had seen them on a few builds but couldn't find them in the museum ref. section

Got several sets myself from the mid 70's onwards, great looking cranks that look great on any race machine, perform really good too

Oh i dont do race bikes

Hey ho daft not to at 40 notes i guess 

[not johndub71]

Ultegra's? Don't quote..

The good thing with these cranks is the hardware, if it's the real thing. Shimano quick release crank bolts. You do them up and the retaining cap stops them un-doing but, allen key off using the retaining caps to push the arm off the crank. As easy as that. Great design back in the 70's

Love the contrast between the polished outers and the grainy inners

Both the cranks were originally anno'd red, albeit in a very used, worn anno. Stripped with Oven Pride and lightly polished to the finish you see. The inners have this very fine bobbling effect, original finish, and they were just polished with some cream and a cloth. I was going to get them re-anno'd but decided they look they better like they are.

You will really like them bro. They are light, easy to clean and fit and, ride bang on

Lighter than DX's too...
