Title: Fake set of single pinch flight crank arms
Post by: delbert on November 16, 2011, 02:21 PM

Hi Guys

Sitting here board at work and was thinking how lucky we seem to be with a market not flodded with new fakes, we only get the old timer fake seat clamps and brake sets, etc.... but.

Has anyone ever seen or tried to fake a set of Redline single pinch flight cranks from a set of twin pinch arms or seen any?

I doubt it wouold be cost effective to doctor a pair of twin pinchers by time you have welded on a new lug and had them rechromed plus the amount of time and effort.

Yes!

Not worth the hassle if you want to make a profit, but for your own amusement . . . . .
