Mystery Cranks

Hi

These came off a Fat Chance Wicked and the seller claimed they were Cook Bros. I'm not so sure

Getting them polished where previous owner badly removed the blue anodizing

Any help on identification appreciated

They look like Toplines to me. They have the characteristic closed off pedal holes.

Agreed. They also have that characteristic groove on the leading/trailing edge.

Toplines were the flexiest cranks I ever had - I bashed the heck out of my chainstays with them for a month or so before they broke at the bb spindle. I knew I should have gotten the purple ano Graftons.

edit: they're definitely not Cook Bros - I had and broke those also.
