No idea about the stamps but either of them will look the bollox :coolsmiley:

Cheers mate. :daumenhoch:
Regarding the ahem ' Stu Thomsen' ahem 180s, Basically I've been reliably informed that these are definitely NOT his old cranks so glad thats cleared up. It makes my decision about which cranks to fit easier as had I found out that these were owned by Stompin Stu I would have wanted to keep them. However, as the chrome on the 175mm cranks is slightly better, I'll probably end up fitting those and getting rid of the 180s.
Hopefully more parts soon! :)

The Laserlite's came stock fitted with Sugino stamped 400 cranks which were commissioned by Redline.
The didn't become redline stamped until a year or so later.
Also the laserlite came standard with 180's not 175's so if you want it to be correct use the 180's and sell the 175's.

Ahh Ok. Thanks! :) Dont think I've ever seen a sugino stamped 400s. Might sell them both and hang out for a set of those then
Thanks for the info on teh crank length! Much appreciated! :daumenhoch:

Yeah, I had Sugino stamped 180's on my Laser lite. It's a habit calling them Redlines. I guess it's because most bikes had 401's rather than 400's!
Go withthe 180's, especially if you want to ride it
