3 pc crank question

[jstring]

I am considering purchasing a 3pc crank for my bike and have three options that I am interested in;

1. Hutch cranks - there is no harm in dreaming
2. Single pinch, wrap-around Flights - very nice
3. Profile cranks

It is the profile cranks that my question refers to. You see, I am fairly up to speed with changes to flights over the years and can therefore identify parts from the correct period.  Although I have always liked Profiles, I know almost nothing about the changes that have occured to them over the years.

So, who knows how much these things have changed over the years and how much difference there is between a set from the second half of the 80's and a nice new set from Alan's?

Sorry if the question has been asked before.  I'm buggered if I could find it on the search facility.

i have heard bad reports about old school  profile cranks in general from other members on here

Just sold these on the bay :



These are Generation 2 box Profiles, pics of todays ones should be available on most on-line shops

Should have set up a snipe for those buggers, but as usual these days, I forgot

I`m quite suprised not to see you bidding on some of my stuff Guy, I thought you`d be after the changa, or do you have one already
