Title: OPC - whats the hottest?
Post by: punkdSICO on March 16, 2012, 04:20 PM: So, new build and Im forced to use a OPC as my ACS Stoker pedals are IMPOSSIBLE to get 9/16 axels for.. Not a problem but, OPCs tend to be a bit dull and I want something that is blingtastic!

What is the sexiest OPC you can get? I like stuff that looks a bit quirky/special. Im more interested in looks rather than rarity.

btw, this is also a bit of a WANTED so if anyone wants to contact me with offers, thats cool.

Any thoughts?

Paul

Chromolite and the hollow one (can't remember name) totally different to the very common Sugino and looks good aswell.

Some 3 piece cranks used to accept 1/2" pedals but due to their rarity you'd be looking at paying serious $$$ for them. What's so special about the ACS axels? Do you have a link to your original thread about them...

Basically, SX/DX pedals etc all have 120mm long axels. Stoker pedals are 130mm which is a complete bugger..

The hollow ones are Landar:

And yes, they do look like they maybe interesting but all the pictures of them are ALWAYS in a frickin original box so, you can not see what they look like..

I looked at all of the other suggestions so big thanks. I think I might put up a proper wanted..

ta,

Unsurprisingly they gets my vote as well :daumenhoch:
Tioga Taskforce made by Takagi and Sugino but the Takagi's are a tad lighter and better made.
