Nice find. dib dobs the stem if it's a TNT please as it's too 'new' for that Kuwi

I'd be happy finding that. Cranks are 400's, probably Sugino stamped rather than Redline

?

They are Redline / Sugino 400 Series Flight Cranks. 1st Gen Flight Cranks are 401 style but pinchless

Thanks for the clarification on the model. Would be interested to know which of the above mentioned are rarer?? They're stamped "Redline" & "180mm"

!st Gen Pinchless Flight Cranks are the rarest of the three. I've been told that the Sugino Stamped 400 Series Cranks are rarer and I have an NOS set on one of my bikes. BUT!!! Personally I would rather have Redline stamped 400's as the welding on them is nice and beady whereas on the Sugino stamped 400's it's kinda smoother and not as nice looking.... plus I'm a Redline nut
