Unusual Cooks Cranks?

[richwoodham]

Just dug these out of the parts box, and thought I'd post a pic here. The anodising has started to wear away, but I've not seen any before with the reversed-out lettering which these have.

I've seen that kind of logo on a Cook Bros stem, but never on a crank. It's a shame there's so much fading.

i've got some of these, sure someone told me they were called 'negative etch'...although they could be bullshitting me...

you have to squint to see the branding, then somemore... :shock:

Hello
Nice little project I reckon...
Get them re anodised and I reckon you could redo the logos.
Former glory and all that

thats defo a stock finish. One of the three old skool fonts. . . (small logo, negative and "regular") on the CBR/RSR era cranks (excluding CQP as a different brand),.
And the fourth is on the current "reissue" Bonz, as a kind of italic.
Leftfield cool, the negative- don't re-ano!!

Same as one of the pairs I have.


People have questioned this, but I'm pretty certain that this 'negative' type, as used on the Cooks stem, was referred to (or at least nick-named) the 'Runes'.

For semi-obvious reasons...
