Top info fellas  :4_17_5:

Really really appreciate it radsters :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

I think he's asking £100 for the chainring which is as near nos as can be (42t) so I'll grab it.

not sure on the crank arms think he's got early and later ones so will memorise the info before I go  ;)

58delray....definitely the 19mm spindle and bb fit then ? .......great stuff if they do  8)


has anyone else fitted new spindles/bbs to old flights before ?......is it a piece of cake or will I have to bugger about a bit so they fit ?


cheers again to you all
Antony :)

Andy, I'm not doubting you mate, but I thought the single-pinch 401's didn't quite fit the new 6-spline 19mm spindles and BB's as the 6 "teeth" effectively were slightly different ???

Great news if they do fit though mate - you learn something new every day and the modern sealed BB's are available for change out of £15 all over ebay.

I bought a rough as a badger's ass set of 401's and full dimple spindle / BB off here a while ago for £220. They needed stripping, tidying, polishing and re-chroming but they were structurally perfect.

As for later ones, I've had several sets of single pinch half-wraps from £100 to £200 so make sure you are getting the original 80's 401's and not the later half-wraps..... still an awesome crank (I still ride two sets of them regularly) but they are worth considerably less.

i have had modern twin pinch on an old spindle/bb so i assume they fit the other way around, but will confirm this or other wise when i have a play this evening mate  :daumenhoch:
