I see Costa's had his cornflakes and a saucer of milk already!

Dura's or a alloy crank to be different - every fookin' Loopy has Flights ffs ;-)

Don't let the BOTM get you down.

There's nowt wrong with feeling like the Jimmy White of the BMX world.  A fantastically talented player, exciting to watch, admired by fans and fellow players alike but he never won feck all either.   ;)

I'd rather be Jimmy than Steve Davis end of.

No wonder you never win BOTM with N/S school cranks on an O/S bike  >:D

It really depends on what style the bike is going to be to be honest, with Tuff 1's on you are making a street bike which I would say 1 piece Ashtabula's would be perfect.

However if you went with more of a race bike feel with a set of Araya 7'b or 7'c rims then you should look to a high end alloy crank like Shimano Dura-ace/600's or even better a set of Campagnolo cranks.

It is really good fun (read fooking hard work) building a bike that is 100% era correct.  My DeCoster took 18 months of part sourcing to find every part from the correct era, actually it was not just era correct but 1978 year correct.

Here is my Mongoose DeCoster with Campagnolo cranks on.
