GT 3 piece crank - HAF!

(1/2) > >>

adiec72:
I have bought a "NOS old school Tubular GT 3 Piece crank" which arrived today and nearly gave the postman a hernia. It weighs in at a huge 1.8kg!!

have I been ripped off or did they all weigh about the same as a small labrador??

BrianP:
any pics adiec72?

one of the GT crank sets (tho it was maybe mid school?) was allegedly made by profile and was very similar in appearance.
(Profile racing cranks with US BB weigh in at 2.64lbs or so...)
A weight of close to 4lbs sounds a lot for yours, especially if they're tubular...  ???

Brian.

OK - I'll hold fire on the verbal bombardment of the seller till I have posted pics and someone can tell me for sure!

thanks for the help.
