The trickiest/coolest cranks of the 80's

[yeti-man]

My favorite cranksets of the golden years of MTB:

1. SR Sakae CR

2. Bullseye 4130 2-piece (the original patent design)

3. TA Pro 5 Vis (Cyclotouriste)

What is your favorite 80's crankset?

For me it's the bulleyes, picked up a set in the sales around 1990 £130 half price, I queued from 6 am to get them.

Sorry but Sweet Wings were made in the late 90's (1997-2005)

Onza HOs in my opinion.

Magic Motorcycle for the win!

EDIT! Doh! Just re-read thread title.

Shimano M730 of course!

Hi ppl - this was a 1980's thread ;-)

PS I agree on the M730's

 

[doctor-bond]

Totally agree on the SR and TA sets. M730 is a functional wonder but not so pretty.

My faves: Sugino AT (quite light too, but need an annoyingly long spindle).



These are nice too:

Shes a beauty. Are those downstepp threads original?
