Date my crank

[13]

Hi all, had these middleburn cranks for a long time. Can’t remember when and how I got them but wanted to see if anyone could identify the model and production year?
Cheers
Jake

Things of beauty - I had some silver ones with a red spider - but devils on clearances and axle length. Later models with shaped arms are less beautiful but functionally a bit better....


also see from Royce...

RS-1's make sure you check for cracks though.

Ah great thanks guys! They have had a pretty easy life by the looks of it so no cracks. Can see how the newer models would ease the stress on the spindles.
They are a nice bit of work

Gosh - I hammered my RS-1s and no cracking. They were soft, for sure, and climbed up the BB axle tapers every time I removed them for servicing etc. But they served well until the bike was stolen …. grrrr.
