ID needed on a HOLLOW one piece crank
« on: February 26, 2008, 09:37 PM »
Ive got this crank and I know nothing about it. Its a chrome one piece crank but its Hollow. It says nothing on it all all apart from between the Bearings where it says

180 x 24
  85   G

It looks like there might have been some black rub on decals on the arms but there were only a few tiny flakes and they all came off with a thumb nail.

Anyone got any idea what it is?

Could be Tioga, SR or Thun as all made hollow cranks - no fooking help whatsoever am I  :LolLolLolLol:  :idiot2:

If decals on them then I would say Tioga  :D


Better to crash and burn than fade away

Next question ..... "is it worth 'out?"

yeah the shape i have a few pics of these cranks etc and i have tioga sending me some of the drawings of there 80's stuff so i can double check for you just to make sure though,

it looks in good nick and i keep getting told that 1pc are getting harder to find(i dont know how true that is?) its in good nick so id say its worth a few quid

Its in great condition, unreal really as its been on a bike for ages. It had a sealed BB on it too but I dont think that will clean up that well.

Maybe I should be asking more for the Sugino and Takagi opc's Ive got too  ;)

Yeah, I suspect it's the Tioga, the SR one seems to have a slightly larger flange (ooo-err), and some bits on the spindle.
