Cranks

My luggage turned up yesterday so now i can finally start putting some information up!

Ok my second stop over in taiwan was at my frame and crank maker, Douglas. Douglas makes frames and cranks for many brands but just to name one would be WTP, and his factory is one of the best i have seen with outstanding quality control checks at every stage of production.


We have been testing these cranks for a while now and have held up to everything we have thrown at them and will be out early next year!

Spec
2.5 piece
fully liquid heat treated after welding SA tubing arms
fully liquid heat treated butted 48 spline axle
strong as Bull

The best bit about these cranks is the weight 730g........................Oi Eastern how do you like those apples, eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im thinking the production color should be chrome? Below is a picture of a set Douglas nocked up for me



Just to give you a better view of them






This is a picture of WTP frames and cranks being welded up
