Hi all

I just got a sexy Redline Twinpinch crank off a Rad member (will arrice next week sometime).  I just noticed that ebay seems to have quite a few listed as New??  What is the era of these cranks?  I thought they were old school but if so, how come ebay.com has so may 'new' ones?

Whatever the deal is, I still think they are sexy and more importanty, they remind me of my youth so looking forward to getting the little fella..

ta,

Paul

Cool..  I had to google what single/twin pinch meant  :-[ (one or two clamping bolts).  So, when did the switch happen?  Other than the bolts, they look pretty identical to me..

thanks for the info..

Paul

A set of nice redline 401s single pinch will set you back £250 +++



where as a set of twin pinch cranks have been about for a while and the hardware and decals dictate the age

Generally from £75 for a used set £85 for a show mounted and about £100 for a new set

The set that Lee sold the other day are my set that I had on my Streetbeat that never turned a wheel and other than the marks from moving the bearings are perfect and a good Buy for £85 Posted IMO they are the current model complete with a Redline US bottom bracket.



The swap to Twin was late 90's but not sure of the year
