Middleburn RS1 'decal' dimensions

[mk one]

I did think the text was larger on the pre-engraved/etched version, but as I haven't got them to hand (mine are in the freezing garage) I haven't been able to compare yet.
@mk one are those yours or just a pic you grabbed?

Just one I grabbed as mine are in freezing storage also

Here’s mine.
Note the remaining text appears to be full rather than outlines
Definitely bigger than the later version offered up by @enigma

I'm sure mine are engraved. Will check next time I'm in storage.

Aha! I think getting a decal made may have just gotten a bit more challenging!
Could it be that mine are the even earlier 'Rhino' branded Middleburn cranks as shown on page 5 of this thread; https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/middleburn-crank-history.75203/page-5

@shinobi it was your post, do you own / still have that crank?

From what I have seen the original Rhino versions came with both decals and engraved, so could well be.

Looks like dleb of middleburn to me… I like the extra curvy though doubtless fractionally heavier profile of the arm.
May have to keep an eye for some for my old clockwork now!

My RS1 have both the Rhino and lettering engraved on them...

they also have more machining around the extractor thread, so I'm guessing yours may be a very early iteration.

Interesting! Could you share a pic?

There’s not even length or serial numbers stamped on mine.

Edit; that pics terrible, sorry.

Agreed, pic doesn't help massively
But does look as though the Rhino is at the other end of the writing, right?

Still not seen another set with solid text.
