AC cranks?
ANC, Grafton, Caramba?
Maybe also Curve, the old Kona in-house brand?
Manufactured by Ultimate Machine Co. for various companies.
AC crank but with the window cut through, or experimental Onza?
Multi-use randonneur / waffle iron cranks. For the camping cyclist on the go!
The first AC cranks did have a window cut through, but the later stronger ones did not.
Those are definitely AC cranks, but I don’t see the logo, so they might be the generic UMC version. BTW – don’t ride them, I broke two sets on the driveside, crankarm just snapped in half leaving a very jagged edge that made a scar I still have today.
I had a silver set from Titus in the 90′s.
Adventure Components Cranks. I’ll never forget those ones.

I think I remember these as AC experimental or low run production cranks. IIRC, they took their standard cranks and milled out the rest of the windows but halted production after high failure rates.
ROOX cranks, s*** brand from Holland Europe IIRC
WRA?
CLASSIC AC CRANKSET!
definately AC cranks! I remember lusting over those as a teenager, then magic motorcycles came out and AC were a thing of the past.
I think they’re cranks.
Answer from Jason:
Titus cranks. (these will be confused with AC cranks which are very similar since these were made by AC, but the machining on the cutouts are different between the two.)
Titus cyborg cranks.
Oh, a little late.
