have you ever seen these before? race face cranks- in gold?
 

howdy.

has anyone seen a pair like this before in this gold color?

i snatched them off eBay on a whim because i've got a frame with gold on it i'm building and it's from the late 90's- so i figured i'd include some period pieces.

i paid more for them becauses the auction listing said "RARE" in the title. they must be wotrth a boatload of money!

a search of eBay listings reveals that exactley 324,000 items are listed with the term "RARE" in the auction title. i had no idea so much stuff was rare!

cheers!

i have a set of thoes cranks in red, but ive never seen gold, id bet thetre somewhat rare.

Square tapper RF cranks in good shape are a hot commodity, I'd snag a set of 170's if I could find them.

the gold cranks came as oem equipment on the bianchi BUSS, only place you could find gold cranks and gold titec stem.

I have a set laying around that look very similar in color, might be the same, not sure. Square taper, 175mm, used them on my previous full suspension... I figure I'll find something to put them on at some point. Rare? No idea. They do go nicely with the similar color Spinergy rims though. :)

What year is it? Because as far as I know not too long ago there was an amazing choice in colours for Race Face cranks.

Its most likely from a Bianchi BUSS (Butt-Ugly-Single-Speed) as someone previously stated. All the components, down to the rims were gold and the frame was UPS truck brown.
