Post by: MartyC on February 01, 2011, 02:41 PM: Actually they are a square taper mounting too so probably not a Profile crank but I am sure I have seen them before, just need to rack my brains :LolLolLolLol:

Quality TIG welding too, are they a Kastan made crank?

Post by: Dark Diggler on February 02, 2011, 12:27 PM: I would imagine they are a track chainset so somewhere like http://www.lfgss.com/ might be able to shed some light.

Just a bit of a shame they're so short.

Post by: billstup on February 02, 2011, 06:30 PM: They are very much like CW or Terry Cable cranks, if it wasn`t for the welds I`d have said they were them:
