Didn't expect a bike with Stolen cranks and a Profile sprocket.

eh then I will make a frame and fiber glass it I can do most if not all of it myself

oooh, fiberglass. Yeah that's doable on your own and fun too! just make sure to wear gloves.

yeah itchy ****

Yes sir we do ride the bikes in rocklin...Mines pretty much my car since my westfalia is a little jacked up...My buddy will probabky log in and tell you all about his bad ass bike. the iro has Soma walkers...Pimp.
We have hit up downtown once on the bikes...we will come down again for sure where does everyone like meet up ride at?

I actually painted the bike to match the cranks.

All conversions, Sixty. I love it.

wat cranks are those...

What bars are those?

Legalize it, those are Stolen bmx cranks.

Why do I not see more BMX cranks?

They offer a few things that I thought fixed riders swoon over:
- easy to find 165mm cranklength
- different chainring designs, for must-have feeling of being unique (I gotta say that the gold chainring is pretty nice)
- sometimes a different look to the cranks
- good quality (well, a good range, at least)
- and finally, using something for something it wasn't meant for. 1,000 points here, I would think.

When you think you've seen it all...
I saw this at a swedish bike forum where a guy did a few small modifications to a broken Scott CR1 frame...

i've always assumed bmx cranks were way heavy - is this not true?

yes, they are really heavy and the Q factor is pretty wide so they ride a bit different.

just a question:
how to BMX chainwheels take to the back-and-forth pressure of riding fixed/resisting the pedals/skidding?
aren't they attached with a reverse threaded lockring? I thought that was the reason why the old FSA track cranks sucked. The spider attachment would strip out eventually.

Most bmx cranks have a bolt the goes through a hole in the sprocket to hold it on, the only ones that don't are the splined Tree sprockets. And I think bmx sprockets would work as far as pedal pressure goes because a lot of them are meant to hold up to being hit on ledges and rails.

i am rocking the same cranks i used to rock on my pedal cab and the media bike. granted they arent bling, but if they can haul this 900 pound monstrosity for 8 hours a day

then they will do just fine on my fixie

What kind of stem is that?

Gary, that colour is fantastic!

Got it head on. I am ridin breakless right now and its not a problem. They work well. Not very performance oriented but the bike is kinda "showy" anyway so I thought they would work. The only minor problem I have come across is that the bolt that holds the crank arm to the chainring gives a little bit of play but there is a grove in the chainring where you can throw a washer to fix that right up.

Kilgore, it works very well. The yellow tires + that gold chainring = showy but tasteful.

Kilgore -
That looks great! I actually bought a profile chainring but then inconveniently went broke and never bought the euro bb and cranks.
