ID needed on a HOLLOW one piece crank

[SaMAlex]

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   

If decals on them then I would say Tioga

Alex its a tioga max flow crank

Alex its a tioga max flow crank 

Nice one, thanks. How can you be sure, the shape?

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

[dibly]

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 

[dibly]

mark at retrospect says they are more or less run out now so yeah id ask more!

yeah ts a tioga maxflo, i've got 1 next to me now.  mine is like new, it's got all the writing on it too.   i only paid about £20 for it but that was a couple of years ago now..

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.
