I just purchased this crankset. I have never seen anything like this before...it is going to go onto the circa 1960 Gitane commuter bike that I recently bought. I think I will invest in the chrome job for it, along with some other bits on the bike (bar and stem).
Here is the bike:

| I saw that, too. It's pretty cool - whether on a bike or on display. |

The crankset arrived yesterday in the mail. It is manufactured by "Durax", and is quite spectacular. However, it does have serious rust issues (not structural though!). I soaked it last night in Evaporust and spray painted it this morning to help halt the corrosion. I will have it re-chromed in the future.
Anyone have any information on Durax as a parts manufacturer? |
