consectatio-novellus on December 3, 2024 4:21 am So hot! I’m curious what’s on the rest of the bike! Kinda shaped like some old L&M cranks, but don’t think that’s it. Edit: Cyclone (CPI – cyclone precision inc) might be the brand
riomx on December 3, 2024 5:06 am This one’s tough. There’s almost no reference online to “Hot Really” crank arms other than on this thread on Retrobike: [https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/my-obsession-with-cranksets.13951/page-16](https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/my-obsession-with-cranksets.13951/page-16) Whoever made them must have been a small outfit that wasn’t around long.
BrightDamage8260 on December 3, 2024 7:14 am i made those in high school shop class, been wondering where they went.
tiregroove on December 3, 2024 7:47 am Those LOOK like A/C cranks without the milling. A bunch of other companies made them too. https://preview.redd.it/mu581i9r8l4e1.png?width=2280&format=png&auto=webp&s=090aa55b89d2acbae7c8a5f8950b2f3d56291d2c
step1makeart on December 3, 2024 8:26 am There’s a set on the cover bike for the 1996 wheeler catalog: https://www.mtb-news.de/forum/attachments/wheeler-team-ad-aus-bike-1996_06-jpg.1803985/ (source is in german: https://www.mtb-news.de/forum/t/der-was-ist-das-fur-ein-classic-teil-thread.566131/page-263) OP, you should really add more pictures of the full bike. They definitely say “Hot Really”, even in your pics. Edit: here’s a set of pretty good pictures of them on another 1996 Wheeler: https://www.ricardo.ch/de/a/wheeler-team-replica-1231335502/ edit: I don’t speak German, and I’m not looking through 260+ pages of forums for more breadcrumbs. Have fun, OP: https://www.mtb-news.de/forum/t/der-was-ist-das-fur-ein-classic-teil-thread.566131/page-264
