Guys,
Need your views as to what crank should go on my 86 master.
I know it should be a haro group 1 but finding one seems like a needle in a haystack and when i do its so bloody expensive!!!
Therefore what would be a good alternative to this, redline flight, sugino ct or gt etc
Your views will be appreciated.
-
flights always look good on a master - n you can pick up the new twin pinch ones at a reasonable price, 85 masters came with Sugino CTs, so that always an option if you want to keep it old school
-
No it was factory spec with a group 1 crank in 86, before that it was the sugino ct.

I'd go for Profile, Redline 401 or the Sugino CT as options. Peregrine would also be a good choice but harder to find :daumenhoch:.

or just use a nice one peice with nice chainring

Was going to say peregrine as well Marty good call squire :coolsmiley:
Personally I would go with Sugino CT's Proper sleek cranks especially the A5's :smitten:

Id go single pinch flights and a powerdisc personally.

The 85 Masters actually came with Redline 400s as a factory build. But I think the 84 Master may have come with Sugino CTs. You are right about the group 1s on the 86, I know 88 Masters came with Peregrine's & I think the 87 Masters came with a 1pc crank, but I'm not 100% on this, mine did, but maybe not all of them.
As others have said, redline 401's look great on most builds 8)

This was my 87 Master which came with a 1pc crank, but I think they also could have come with Peregrine 3pc cranks, maybe an option :)

Nice one fellas gives me an idea, now to find out what you have looking for a new home!!
Ad in wanted section.

87 and 88 Team Masters came with Peregrine 3pc cranks and an Anlun sealed bottom bracket :)
Non Team ones came with CR-MO one pc cranks.
And yes, Group 1 cranks are pretty pricey >:( so I'd go for Sugino CT's, which are cool looking on a Master and more affordable ;)
Cheers,
