To be honest John the frame only came back into my possession a few weeks back after an absence of 3 years or so . I let a mate have the frame on the understanding he gave me first option on it when he was getting shut   :)

Not sure about that mate but i built this as a rider and im more than happy to stick the twin pinchers on it , not really bothered what people say . They do the job , still have an old school look to them and they look good imo .  If i was planning on entering a show and shine competition then yes they would have to go , along with the re pop grips and tyres  ...... but im not . Bearing in mind this will probably get on 10 or so rides a year and a few trips up to Coppull track etc i wanted something with sealed bearings and a bit of reliability  ;)

If i get the chance to grab some PC cranks at some point i'll consider swapping them over but tbh there's no other cranks i would want to put on it  :daumenhoch:

I still remember the sound of Adam's Hutch pedal and redline crank arm hitting Oxford street as the single bolt had decided to come undone and release itself in the gutter somewhere

Nowt wrong with 2 bolts on a rider  :daumenhoch:
