They were black with a silver spider. Anybody know what make they were? Can't have been that great as whole bike wasn't that expensive. Would like to find a set in decent nick . ::)
-
Have you got any pics of a set?
-
Nope was hoping somebody would find some. :daumenhoch:

Found these but they don't show a lot :LolLolLolLol:
-
thought they all had 1 peice from the factory?
-
Yes mine had a 1pc crank BITD
-
Had a set bitd bought them of my mate . Can remember him getting the bike and the adds and it defo came with a 3 piece as shown in the BMX Action Bike test.
-
They look like a generic alloy 3 piece, probably a sugino copy given that they generally used taiwanese copy stuff on them, but who knows as the review does not make a mention of the cranks :LolLolLolLol:
-
:( Come on guys and girls somebody must know what they were, and if anybody has one hidden away. ;)

Steve,
If the crank is black and the spider is a built in one piece thing with a silver chainring, then I may be able to help you.
I have a pair of NOS black Sugino GT crank arms, same as these but obviously black with white lettering.

I also have a sealed used Sugino bb to complement them.

LMK if any use.
But the things you may be after could be these - can't remeber what they are called but this is the only set I have seen, on a pic I saved from a special team edition predator similar to mine above.

They came with a one piece crank, not a 3 piece.
I have a brochure and it says all models fitted with opc.
-
Defo came with three piece as in the ad in link. If it helps the spider on it fitted the outer holes on a tuf neck chain ring and not the inner ones. ;)
-
got a 1 peice silverfox crank in front of me atm :)just says taiwan in middle and csh on the other side in middle :)
-
Defo came with three piece as in the ad in link. If it helps the spider on it fitted the outer holes on a tuf neck chain ring and not the inner ones. ;)
I seem to be confused (not difficult mind) the ad in the link aboce shows only 1 piece cranks, the review shows a bike with three piece cranks but makes no mention in the spec. Is it this ad you are referring to which only shows 1 piece cranks or have I missed something?

I knew a guy BITD who had a superfox, and I distinctly remember his having a 1pc crank because it snapped when he landed after a jump and he ended up buying my old 1pc from me :)
Maybe a few earlier ones came with a 3pc?
-
on the trial of these didnt the rider just have a 3 peice fitted for it? the 1 peices are forged and not crom as mines got H.T stamped into a leg
-
Test bikes often had the odd thing changed to suit the test rider, longer crank arms, bigger bars etc...
The bike came with a opc, maybe the shop fitted a 3 piece for some reason.....maybe he even paud extra for it?
-
paud :LolLolLolLol: me thinks you been looking at your signature too much. i want to get me paws on her too ;)
-
Took me an hour and a half but found this pic. Its the same crank arms but the spider on the one I had was silver and spoked and fitted to the outside holes on a tuf neck chainring. Was similar to a takaigi one.

^^ that looks a bit like a set of THUN cranks I have which are red.
My superfox is the bottom one in the museum: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=33731.0
As you can see it has one piecers on it.
-
Did they do a Thun crank with a spokes spider? could get one of them and get it reannodised.
actually I have just found this crank on the bay

The aero stamped into it rang a far distant bell in me head :LolLolLolLol: No seriously they are the right crank arms but spider is wrong , so think I am looking for one of these with a silver spoked spider so if anybody finds one giz a shout please. :daumenhoch:
