Here you go:

1st generation

2nd generation:
(sorry no pick but they have the newer script of the 3rd generation but without the chainring notch cut out on the inside of the arm).

3rd generation:

4th generation:
Not dog bones - but look similar have the back of the arms scooped out for weight reduction - only really for road and early xc mountain bikes

And a different company Cooks (lasted only a short time which was set up by one of the brothers after they sold CBR on)

Thanks very much diesel for that

So mine are the cooks company that didn't last long

There was cooks stamped on each arm but it's very faint now

What year are they? Do you know

Thanks again
Ollie

Somewhere between 1985 & 1989 I now believe

Yup Cook's Cranks - Very nice!

They look alot like Middleburn MTB cranks from the late 90s (from what I can remember, seeing them in the bike shop I worked in)
