I agree that the Ashtabula crank is an excellent design, even if usually
rather crudely executed. They certainly served Schwinn well in its lower
models. Frankly, I think they are ideal for children -- cheap, sturdy, very

Many here are often lamenting the lack of good kids bikes.
Apparently Linus showed a couple of new kid's models at Interbike this week:

Whaaat! My Daughter would flip over the little red one. Real 3 piece crank

Hmm, It has honestly been a while since I rode one but I just remember the
locknut always coming loose when me and my brother would go out for a long
ride and it spilling loose balls everywhere when I went to work on it, but
maybe it was user error. The upshot was I learned how to wrench a bike
Yep, it's not only a crank, but an educational tool! ;)
