Title: Which crank would you use ?
Post by: muddstud on March 25, 2008, 08:50 PM: Cant make my mind up which crank to use on this survivor 79-80 ripper
What would you use one piece or the redline(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ff8/muddstud/CIMG0739.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ff8/muddstud/2008_0226redline0001.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ff8/muddstud/2008_0116cranks0002.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ff8/muddstud/2008_0116cranks0001.jpg)
