Any primo cranks.
Profiles were/are/always will be used. The Heavy SS cranks came out in the 90s.

Title: Re: cranks ?
Post by: SaMAlex on August 29, 2007, 01:02 PM: The SS cranks had 22mm spindle instead of 19mm and bigger arms to match. The spindle splines and the style of the arms were the same, it was all just fatter.

Post by: Lazarou on August 29, 2007, 01:21 PM: All of the usual suspects made cranks in the 90s Haro, GT, Redline etc.

GT had their cranks (at first) made by Profile (so did GT/Powerlite)

Supercross
Solid
Technique
Kastan
Boss
Crupi
TNT
Odyssey Black Widow
Schwinn
+ loads more such as Torker, Snafu etc.
