Title: Primo cranks
Post by: pickle on February 22, 2011, 10:45 AM

I have a set of cranks on my lads GT which will be coming back to me this weekend as it's just sitting in the shed rusting away....but anyways, it has a set of Primo cranks on it that i bought off Rarman1 many years ago.  They are tubular rather than the powerbites or hollowbite types.

anyone know what sort of year these were made as i can't seem to find any pictures, they have a pinch bolt from what i remember and have PRIMO stamped into the crank arms.

Muchos gracias  :daumenhoch:

Yes, Primo Excel cranks. Use all the same bits as Power/Hollowbites, I think they were about right at the end of the 90's though?
