Janson Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 You might aswell get some decent cranks and send them straight off to the powdercoaters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Sounds like an interesting project , much like I'm intending on doing but in Blue . As I understand it , RooX manufacture a crankset in white and they're suitable for trials too , as Orange's Petr Kraus ( Hugely underrated rider ) runs / ran them . Keep us updated , wanna see the finished article . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Well, I don't know where you can get white cranks but speaking from experience from having a white frame and white rims, I can tell you that they get DIIIIIRTY quick and its really stands out so you'll have to clean it a lot to keep it looking fresh. So look out when your playing with your chain and then go to grab the top tube to move your bike and then your left with a big black hand mark thats hard to get off. Scratches also show up like a beast :lol: Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Garland Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 If a pair of cranks were made from plastic but looked amazing (ordinary plastic) would you use them over a pair of cranks that were aluminium that looked standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
