TwoBobRob:
Aye... Hardcore.... :D :P

I broke one at Radlands just jumping off a p!ssy little step - about 2-3 foot, no more. Clump, snap, whack.... My ankle!! Oh the pain, the pain!!!!!

Not really.  Just hurt me foot a bit  ;D

Long way to go just to ride for 1/2 hour though..... >:(

ORB:
I once snapped an arm clean off an SR 1pc crank, that was cos i was trying to get a pedal off with a 6ft scaffold pole and a home made spanner with the crank in a vice. lol, that hurt when i fell over.

got a set of redline 3pc BITD and bent them in a week at the pedals, as a result i never used anything but 1pc and had no probs at all, but,,,,,,,,,,since gettin back into it i splashed out on some 2 pinch flights and i love them, they just feel stiffer than 1pc, as for looks, i suppose it depends on what your building, 1pc usualy look better in my eyes on bikes that are built to a correct era of frames parts etc (the kinda builds im not fussed on) but 3pc make an "any part that looks good build" look good basically, so the choice is yours dude, even if you got the cash, go with your heart not with what other people may expect, the more interesting builds are usually a result of mix and match and they all look cool in the end :)
