Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I think it's balanced well with the black cranks.

Thanks...I won't be upgrading anything anytime soon. Its basically my beater bike, but I can't really call it that cause I still treat it pretty well Plus those cranks are solid as f*&k! (andel)

Solid as f*** is always a good thing and the black cranks look great as it does balance things out.

In building up my Cooper road bike which is silver grey and had the option to go with silver cranks but then it would have been a white out so left the Sugino Maxy cranks on because they are also solid as f*** and go well with the black bar tape and saddle.

They look like track pedals to me, but I could be wrong. They look like M324 SPDs but they don't have the outer cage so I'm not sure.

Not according to the site. That's why I was interested. Looks way better than the little old decal.
