Redline flight cranks

(1/6) > >>

boloon:
how many people use the cheap Redline flights from the us $130 & what is the difference between the original ones & the new ones & do the old logo decals fit (to make them look more original) cheers

Rombloke:
yes the decals fit the new cranks.
the new flights are slightly dearer than the prolines...although in my opinion the prolines are very nice, although the flights have the same shape as the old ones, they have a double pinch bolt, whereas the originals, and the new prolines both have one pinch bolt.
but both the flight and proline models are as strong as an ox, and more than acceptable on a rider or a show bike.

why put new cranks on an old school show bike?  defeating the object a bit isnt it.

depends if you got 100 quid or 300 quid to throw away really doesnt it....
theres lots of old school bikes on this site with new school flights, prolines, and new school profiles, i think they all look nice, obviously not era correct, but who really gives a fcuk...im not an old school snob, so it doesnt bother me, i have both old and new school flights, both on old school bikes....
