Andel Classic Cranks

Hey all. Decided it was time to pull the trigger on a whole new daily rider fixie and planned on putting the same andel track cranks I have in my old one on the new one. So I start looking for a new set to buy and low and behold they have a new "Classic" version which I find to be more aesthetically pleasing than the "Standard" version. Does anyone have experience with the former? Do the classics have the same renowned stiffness and roundness as the standards? Any info is very much appreciated.

I had a set of IRD defiant track cranks which I believe are just rebranded versions. They were just as stiff as my All City 612 cranks (also rebranded Andels).

I've heard about the All City's being rebranded but I've never heard of the IRD's. Just looked them up and it would appear that your correct about them being rebranded as well. Thanks for the info.

All art is theft





wow! Their design really does... let's just say pay proper homage to the fluted vintage Campagnolo Super Record cranks.

Which imho means:

1 They look great.
2 they are going to look fantastic on steel vintage conversions.
3 with a little Testors enamel paint they can match your bike/build and look super classy.

Nice!

I really like knockoffs as they have more options to play with modern day parts. I'll take a knockoff 144bcd, JIS taper over an original 151bcd ISO any day.

FSA Gimondi and Zenith (which I also believe are rebranded Andels) are also options of the same style.

Do these chainsets come with ⅛" chainrings?
