Ok. I've been in the process of building up a Race Inc. and I cant seem to decide on something and it's in the crank department. I cant seem to choose between 3 piece ore 1 piece. So I would like to know what some of the fellow members would decide on. Also dont stop at that, what style, brand of 3 piece? If you choose 1 piece, what crank, spider, chainring combo? Maybe if I see some other choices I havent thought of, it might help in my quest for the final parts decision on this build! Thanks alot!

is it a crmo or alum race inc.? I have both and have maxy cross and dura-ace on them respectivly

It's and aluminum RA-8.

when i think race inc. i dont see flights or profile type cranks, i think alum. 3 piecers are the way to go. If i were doing 1 piece i'd go with a takagi crank and a sugino redline type chainring.

I ran SR hollow one piece on my Race Inc. in "83.

Put some one piece Bangos on it.

Oh yeah, some pink tassles on the grips

RA-8s were the expert/junior sized frame...I'd say a nice set of Maxy Cross would be boss...like mine.

'81 RA-7

I think it is these questions that get you in trouble ( 4 years and still building). I say just build it! LOL

Love that bike alex.

I say Maxy Cross Bro. It's the right thing to do

Call me

Me or Little "O"?

Well I do have the 3 piece Maxy cranks already but have been undecisive about using them. Seen a couple pics of Race Inc. bikes with 1 piece cranks that looked kinda cool though.

Hey thanks Mitch! I should have known you would pop in and give me the biz!!! I am close to being done with this one though. Oh and just so ya know Mitch, I just tore down the Scrambler the other night, so only a couple more years for that one!!!

Plenty of Campy cranks the bay. Thats what I'd be lookin at.

maybe he will prop it up on some 45 degree elbow pvc stand also.

Shimano Dura Ace with a Bullseye bottom bracket.

Thanks for all the advice guys! I'm gonna go with the Maxy cranks I have, I keep going back to that so that'ts the ticket!

I dont have the size Bango I need to make the bike look right so I'll have to pass but I did beat you to the tassles!!!
