Title: Shimano Dx Cranks
Post by: martylaa on July 12, 2009, 03:47 PM

Hi anyone on here know anything about these cranks, were they racing cranks?
Also anyone got any pics of them on any of their bikes?
Just seen a pic of some and they look nice, are they easy to find, cheap, expensive etc etc

these were nos in there box, but scratched to fook, they must of been on display or something, or used at a circus for juggling, so got them re-anoed, i took the decals off very carefully, just never got round to putting them back on....  a set went for about £150 on ebay about 12 months ago, but they were well knackered and had the pedal inserts missing, so just make sure they are complete if you go for some.... :daumenhoch:
