Which Crank for Delta Restore

[Paulo]

So which crank would suit my Firebird Delta rebuild? 

The f&f were never top end so I'm not really looking to put top end cranks on like Redlines, and the Sugino 3pc that Vertigo has, are on loads of mid-end rebuilds, so I'm looking for something different. Preferably 3pc. Go to be chrome.

Any suggestions?

I'm in the middle of building up a Delta II, going down the one piece route. As you say not the sort of frameset to have flights.
What you got planned for it, don't see many

Yep, a Sugino 1pc like Biagio has would be nice.  It wouldn't look right with alloy 3-piece cranks like Suntour VX or Sugino GT or CT.  1pc with a nice set of DX pedals would be just right

Have you been in my garage, looking at my Delta?

1 pc gets my vote also

You might wanna check it's still there!

OPC, this was one of my 1st builds...



It's well gone now, but it was a very well made frame set...  I've never seen another.

Thanks everyone. That's a lovely build RB.

One piece looks the favourite.

b45t4rd - planning something simple. All chrome or silver. I've got some uncoloured araya aero's and just bought some Renthal bars that should arrive next week. What's yours looking like?

The f&f has just been sent to Doug Taylor for a re-chrome. Bought it off phantom photon a while back.

PP - is it a Delta or a Delta2. I've never known what the difference is?

It's been a long time getting some of the parts, but it's at last coming together.

Mines a Delta II like Ron B's above^^^^^^^^
Gusset at headtube means regular "Firebird"
Chrome & black for me.
Ron, were the decals original on yours? Need the delta II one, Del has sorted me out the rest.

Yes, I bought the frame and forks from a bike shop, it was NOS

Yep, mines a Delta rather than a II.

Del should be able to sort you with the Delta II decal. We worked on the Firebird repro's together. Can't wait to see them on the bike.

Ron - what sort of bike shop do you go to? Was it just lying around at the back of the shop?

No... it was hanging from the rafters in the front of the counter
