Title: CRANK ID
Post by: spinmaster on September 10, 2009, 09:07 PM

Scored these with a frame off ebay. have been told they're possibly KHE, very similar to GT show cranks. Any other ideas. made from aluminium. measure 175mm. also any idea what make the chain wheel is?

They do look like the GT Show cranks without the logo's, as does the sprocket, but they were a 3 piece, KHE had an alloy 2 piece out years ago, but I can't remember if they looked like that.

They are CPI cranks made in Taiwan. The reason they look like the GT cranks is because CPI made them too.

Considering they are made in Taiwan they are surprisingly good.....Strong, Light and very functional. Late 90's early 2000's would be the era of manufacture.

had a look on bmx museum and the CPI made ones have CPI on the back, maybe mine are just generic copies. can't make out the what the logo on the arms of mine is meant to be.
