Hi,
I used to run these cranks on my late 80's Profile X Factor. I am now trying to gain some insight on who the manufacturer ( crank arms only ) is. It looks like the the spider is Profile, and the sprocket is Pro-Neck.
I looked on E-Bay under profile, sugino, pro-neck, GT and couldnt find anthing simular looking. Maybe they're generic. The bike they came on was a Profile X Factor ( late 1980's ) but I cant remeber much else.
The crank arms do not say anything on them.

Take an educated guess,

peace and love,

This is the matching Profile X factor frame. Its all filthy as its been stored for many years. I'm going to use chrome polish on it, and try to restore it and sell it. I think it might be a 1992 model. Is that considered "vintage" by any standards.
