Redline half wrap single pinch.
Gt power series. Alloy
Gt profile
Fusion alloy
Peregrine.
Profile box cranks.

Not a massive amount of choice. And all sell for shed loads of money.

S&M's weren't until 1994? But as OD say's - there's loads of types out there.

Also some of 'em aren't that expensive - the GT and Powerlite Profiles you can get on here now and again for £60 - 80

Ithink gt's where 92 I'm kind of thinking 90-91? Ithink it's gona be gen3 profiles or redline single pinch flights?

Mmm I sure gt three piece profiles were out then as mark Atkins and Brian wills rode them.

Pretty sure GT Profiles were out in the States in 1991 - in fact have a butchers here at RP's post:

I definitely remember seeing them first in the UK around then

The Powerlites may have been '92 though - can't remember. They still made both well into the 90's, and you could still get the odd pair of Powerlites in the early 2000's in some shops.

Also forgot - don't go on Profile's own crank time-line - it's a bit like 23mag - can be a little bit off

Yeah - me too - I know I keep banging on about it, but someone sell me an S&S Tigertooth sprocket

I've got a little 1989 project winging it's way to me and could do with a nice early sprocket......

That's the seat I was on about the other day Kev! Is that a 91 advert? Wouldn't mind that seat it would be kind to my bum!

So who's got some gt profiles for sale then? The bloke on eBay doesn't like me and has banned me from bidding! Lol

If it's only gonna be an occasional rider why not use a one piece crank?
