170 Middleburn Cranks

[knowthejo]

Looking for some 170mm Middleburn cranks. Double/triple, not worried about rings, but happy to buy full chainset. Silver - more classic the better.

Thanks

100% has to be 170 and not 175?...

 

[knowthejo]

Yup. I'm closer to 165 and it's for road.

Hmmmm.

I'm probably not going to use them again as I'm not letting any more bikes in the collection.

My original 170mm Middlerburn Rhino cranks, which I waited a month for on preorder in 93/4 and raced on through to 97 when I got RS3s. They've raced against 3 world champions - Peaty, Henrik Djernis and Michael Rasmussen.

They're worn, been ridden very hard. Logos wore off within 6 months. Some scratches and gouges on the back. Shimano self-extractors are never going to come out. Silver 110 Spider is loctited on to prevent creaking so bolts will never ever loosen - but the cranks have never ever creaked either....

I'm very very sentimentally attached to them so it's going to take a very good price to prize them out of my hands though... But there is a Hope titanium BB For them to spin on. And 2 Pace chainrings (44/35) and one Onza Buzzsaw (24T).

But if they're going to a good home - £200 for the lot, posted.

Wowzer. They do sound quite something and I would be literally honored to ride them!

Any chance of some pics?

They may be a bit out of my range - but I may well be tempted.

Hi, I've got a silver 175mm duo ending on ebay within the hour. Owned from new and very very good condition? Cheers, bert

Thanks All - especially dbmtb - but I have now sorted my cranks.
