New: Bizhouse Turbo Cranks
Shawn White over at Bizhouse in Sunny San Diego broke his cranks last week, so rather than buy another pair he made his own. The Bizhouse Turbo crank is born using a centre spine instead of one tube, 160mm length, 19mm Spindle, full 4130 ChroMo, and made in California. Right now these are just made for Shawn, but if there is enough interest he will start making them, contact Shawn if you are interested:Bizhouse@bizhouse.com
