nice one coastal. are you putting the stickers on or going stealth? what cranks are those, mate?

Title: Re: 1st for the year
Post by: Coastvl on January 09, 2007, 09:53 AM

thanks mate. Those cranks are Black Widows with a NOS sealed BB. They aren't staying. I have a 1 piece set up on it's way. I'm using ratrap pedals too. I just need to replate the Vbars and I'm done. I will be putting stickers on too when I get around to it.
