okey dokey, i've got some fundidge that's come my way and i fancy a new set of cranks and some bars that are wider than the (what feels like) 10 inch ones i have already!
so i'm liking the look of these (as i fancy the Raw style)

maybe these in Chrome?

interested in what you guys think? oh and by the way the reason i've used CR for the links is because i can go there tonight from work :daumenhoch:

Cant ever go wrong with Slams. Nice one.
Have you thought about the S&M Race bars? Same shape as slams but thinner tubing, so lighter.
Of course, dont forget UKs finest, BSD. 3 bar sizes to choose from.

I've got those cranks, had them a couple of months, seem fine so far.
Absoulute bugger to get on the first time, but after they've been on and off a few times, they're fine.
-
Profile, Profile, Profile, or failing that................er Profile! ;D We the people Royals also heard good things about, and cheaper than the "P"s.
Both available in chrome, in fact i think you can get the WTP's in raw which would look superb on your bike Rob.
As for bars, dont know about that, its a minefield! Tall, short, thin, wide?
Sean.
-
good choice of bars but as for cranks profile all the way :daumenhoch:
-
but profiles are about £150 aint they? not really planning on spending that sort of cash for cranks to be honest
-
profile dj cranks and profile race cranks can be had from £120 depending on what bb u need, the ones in ur link are £90 without a bb

:) Slam Bars all the way-many lighter variations out too! As for cranks,I had a new set of Profiles recently,they were so badly machined that I sent them back.Don`t know if I was just unlucky but the quality was really poor compared to prwevious sets I have owned.....

winstanleys robs fav shop :LolLolLolLol: primo cranks are good so ive heard :)
-
thanks for all your feedback guys, although i did say that the reason i used CR links was because i can go there from work instead of ordering online and not being in when the stupid postie knocks at 11:30 or something ;)
as for w@nkstanleys?? i'd rather stick forks in my testicles than order anything off them!! :2gunsfiring_v1:
i just liked the look of the Royals and in Raw they would look the nuts on my proclaimer! i've heard good things about em too!
-
lol @ the winstanleys comment personally i have never had a prob with them
cant cr get you a set of profiles for that price?
-
i don't know, they might be able to.........but are they THAT much better than the royals? and i like the Raw finish rather than chrome.........although the Royals come in that too :daumenhoch:
-
ive no idea if they are any better its just ive been running profiles for 16 years now id ive never had any trouble with them on my bmx's or my mtb's
-
hmmmmmm that's good feedback for sure! although it's funny how CR don't sell any on there web site?? ???
-
i thought that was strange too maybe ask em why and let me know, profiles are the crank that most companies copy, at the end of the day buy what u think you will be happy with thats the main thing :daumenhoch:
-
and i like the Raw finish rather than chrome
profile have a sister company called madera. Madera cranks are the same as profiles but not chromed. And they cost less!

Thanks for posting the pics up Paul, dam work and blocking photobucket! >:(
still need a spacer for the non drive side but i've got it at home......and need a slimmer spanner so i can get the pedals off the old cranks......but the crappy phone camera doesn't do the cranks justice! they're gorgeous and match the frame perfectly :smitten:
-
Looks nice Rob :daumenhoch:
I gotta set of those bars too :LolLolLolLol:
