You should always bid what you're happy to pay, if you win and get them cheaper then happy days.

If they had come up on RAD at BIN at £165 i bet you'd of paid that easily.

I honestly thought they'd to £200+ easily, thankfully i never bid on them.

Yep!! would have paid more on rad.. Just seeing the £67 last bid figure gets you going.

If Adam got them - then you still have a chance of getting them - just ride behind him on a London run ready to pick up the parts  ;D

Bit of a minefield to getting era correct ones ,as a lot that sell are 90,s MTB cranks  :-\

Not totally sure now but I think early 80s had a groove on the inside of the arms

I think in around '89 it changed to just 'cooks'

It changed to CQP first, Cooks Quality Products

IMO early Cooks cranks are the nicest OS crank,shame the BB's are a pain to get though.

They are a corking looking crank and not much comes close to it apart from the Terry Cable, HLT and CW cranks.


All of them rare and very desirable.  The pictures above are lovely :smitten:  Far too many Profiles/Redlines about.
