Sweet Wings Road Cranks
Hey, this is my first thread so let me know if I should post it somewhere else.
I recently acquired a bike that had a pair of these cranks. My buddy (knowing more than I) flipped out when he saw these cranks and told me I should never sell them and that they are insanely rare. Well I don't want or need them so I'm wondering what I should try and sell them for

Hopefully. My buddy told me never to sell them for less than $800. Seems steep to me so I though I'd ask. Thanks for the links

Probably worth stripping off if your plan is to resell the bike for maximum $$.

incazzare.
Good lord, are those things ugly or what?

Yeah, I've seen that pair. I guess the splines on the MTB stripped easily. The roads are much more rare. They were supposedly the stiffest cranks in their day. The owner still makes components.
