i can see why people dont want twin pinch redlines as they are current model items..and you can clearly see that when they are on a bike..but the profiles look jus the same...( so you get the right look for the right price!)

originals are best for purism, and there's now worng with that either, but budgets are budgets and if you can get the look you want for the price you want, then you should.

happy days. :D

OK so we now know the history of the box cranks.

When did Profile introduce the more rounded race cranks? I like the look of them but looking at the Profile site it just says they've been around for years.

Anybody know?

Alex might know the answer to this , I finished racing in 87 so not sure TBH .

These are the more rounded non stamped , late 80's/early 90's ? ( I think the ones Kenny was referring to )
