Profile box cranks- 135 quid!

(1/9) > >>

Weeksy:

Hi dudes,

Prob slow off the mark here, but have you seen profile is remaking the old box cranks  :smitten:



What years were these made from / to?

I've ordered a set for my Group 1 build, but I think they may be too early for that?

Cheers

very cheap at 135 i think...and well documented on here already..

these are re runs of the gen 2 box crank i think..the gen 1 had no indent for the sticker and were truly box like in there shape...

these are also very limited in number , with the number of the set printed on the inside of the crank arm.

Identical to originals apparently..

my set are on order too.

where you ordered yours from?

Weeksy:
Thought so dude, but thought I would stick a pic up anyway!

Ahh, they are gen 2 eh? What years were these made from fella?

1000 sets fella, 500 accounted for already I am told

Ordered them direct, Charlie at Profile is a bloody hepful chap.

I think these are Gen 1 re-runs but I could be wrong. There is all kinds of debate about early profile cranks. Some even conclude that there is even a Gen 1.5.

As far as I know, the Gen 1s were like above, the Gen 2s look much closer to current profiles, but still with the sticker indent, and the Gen 3s were as current, with engraved arms (either "GT" or "Profle").

Jt:
up the debate!

have some gen 1 profile's on my DY. no indent.

gen 2 on my vdc, indent.

i agree about there being versions after the gen1, but i thought the gen 1 were the super square no indent cranks.
