Hi guys
Finally recieved these in the post this morning after years of searching, cost me a fair bit, majority of it was in the Import duty and VAT as it was caught by customs (bastards)
they are 1st gen original everything, chrome 175mm buts a bit of chrome flaking around the spindle boss

Bet you're stoked :daumenhoch: Now don't go ride 'em or they'll break! I bet there's not many of the first ones left.
-
I do remember these but not too clearly, is the crank arm slightly ovalized on the 1st ones or just a straight tube? does the tubing narrow from top to bottom?
-
good score :daumenhoch:
-
very very nice. Good find :daumenhoch:

cheers guys, these were on ebay for a 30 day buy it now listing, im surprized no one snapped them up before hand
-
what is it with folk and alberts?
lets be honest, they were shit and most snapped,
i've never had a feeling to use them on a resto as to me they make the bike "un-rideable"
i'd always be scared of snapping them and the probable spiral fracture of the tibia that would ensue :LolLolLolLol:
profiles>alberts,
guns for show.......knives for a pro ;)
(dons flameproof)

Joe, you are totally right, but I used my set for years. Never had any problems with them.

I like to think of PA cranks as the 90s version of Hutch aerospeeds.

Id like to think it is because of my silk smooth riding :coolsmiley:
Although its probably more cos I dont ever get more than a few feet off the ground! :-[
