.........have you perhaps got one of the crank, cotter pins in, around the wrong way?

Yup, if cotter pins are not put in from opposing directions the cranks will not line up correctly.reeva65 wrote:Cotter pins?? im not sure.. will it make a difference ?
So, when viewed from top with the cranks vertical, the left hand crank has the nut on the pin facing back and the right hand crank has the nut on the pin facing forward.
Doesn't really matter which side faces which way actually as long as they are in opposite directions.
From the pictures your cranks are out of line so the first suggestion is that both pins are in from the same side.
If the pins are in correctly then you may have non-matched cotter pins or you may have to file the cotter pin flats to line them up.
Cheers

Looking at the photo, the crank arms seem just a little out of line with each other. Could be the angle the shot was taken from, but if both cotter pins are inserted in the same direction, this will cause the cranks to look like the arms of a clock, at 5 O'clock. To correct this, remove one of the cotter pins and make sure it is then inserted in the opposite direction, to the pin on the opposing crank arm. The cranks should now be at 6 O'clock
....does that make sense?

Yes +1 to that.ldrcycles wrote:Strong candidate for restoration of the year! I can't believe that's the same bike as in the original thread, I would never have thought it would clean up so well, it's absolutely magnificent. Fantastic work reeva .
Meant to add that it was a great resto into the cotter pin thing but forgot.... Nice combo of patina and new stuff.
Cheers

it wasnt cheap... cost me $300.. More for a labour of love than a sound financial decision.

+1, and that sounds like a pretty good deal to me, I know nickel plating isn't as expensive as chrome but a set of cranks and a stem cost me $120.Imwit wrote:Looks awesome.worth it i reckonreeva65 wrote:

That's a pretty good price for what looks like a good job. A basic good paint job is up there in the $200-250 mark as a starter.
