Anyone whose been around my bikes knows I’m am a huge fan of classic track aesthetics. So, when I saw this image posted on SJFixed’s Flickr I got super excited. It’s nice to see some “new classic” track bits hitting the scene.
IRD Defiant Track Crank is designed to be reminiscent of the Campy Strada and Sugino Mighty cranks of the 1970’s. But instead of CNC’ing from billet, they cold forge these before adding the fluting details. IRD claims his makes for a stronger, more reliable design.
Polished finish
Cold forged, then CNC’d 6061 T6 aluminum arms
144BCD spider with 7075-T6 aluminum 46t chainring (CNC’d and polished)
