I find 3 piece easier to work on, more variety, and better looking.
When I get around to building a classic American cruiser I'm gonna convert itI prefer the old school one piece cranks. It's a whole lot easier to work on without buying a bunch of specialty tools. Plus, my favorite bikes, classic American cruisers all used the one piece cranks.

Thanks for your help1 piece cranks are a pain to work on and adjust, are heavy, and don't block debris from going into the bearings. They are very robust and don't break as all the parts are bigger than usual. I don't have any problems with 1 piece cranks because they are on cheaper bikes that I don't ride seriously. If a bike has 1 piece cranks, it is not worthy of anything else. One serious problem I have, is lack of different sized chainrings for geared bikes. They make MANY singlespeed compatible ones, but with geared ones, you only get a 32 tooth or a 52 tooth.
Not mine, just pulled from the googulatorBeautiful cranksets
Anyways coolNot mine, just pulled from the googulator
Let us see some Matti cranks now ?Not mine, just pulled from the googulator
Think you make more if you recycle them for ammo ?Just don't give me any dadgum cotter cranks. Aside from correct restoration purposes, you could melt down every last one on the planet for soup cans as far as I'm concerned.
