If you look carefully, you will find its left side drive. Normal mtb cranks cannot accomodate this....

If you wanted, could you use cranks designed for the front of a tandem bike?

A pair of middleburns (while not really fitting with the bombproof theme) would save some weight.

I suppose that could work. Don't think it would go very well strength wise....at least I know the profiles won't snap on me!
Hey mate, I am sure you'll work it out soon enough, but up the top of every post, there is a blue bar. The date on that tells you when the last post is. As a general rule you probably shouldn't post in a thread that is more 1 - 2 months old unless you really need to.

Haha I was like I could SWEAR this bike had exchanged owners by now, and I was getting rather confused as to why, what I thought was the old owner, would post up the bike again.

I might have missed something but cant you just put mtb cranks round the wrong way? The only think that i can think of is that the chainring would be ramped the wrong way?
Pedals would undo themselves.

But the pedals can unwind. Not something anyone wants. People run Profiles because you can mount a chainring on the left crank. Any cranks with this option could possibly be used.
Nice grave dig to share some misleading information.

Not sure if you're in Australia, but I have a puller for the main bearings if you need it. PM me if you do.

22.5Kgs! far out... I got my BMW build to 18.2kg.
You did alright on the price as well... My build was in the 9k mark (but I didnt get the same price on the frame that you did!).. That frame is a killer though!
I miss mine pretty badly, but had to sell it to move interstate!
You'll want to put a lot of effort into getting the left chain nicely set up, mine was a bit loose to start with and I had heaps of pickup issues. Also with the default rings, it ends up being equivalent to about a 44T ring at the front... Unless you've got huge legs, don't run a road cassette like I did... I was using clipless and didn't get much use out of anything past gear 6!
