The Silver1 Crankset is our go-to crank and the one we install on the vast majority of Rivendell complete bikes that leave Ottawa Bike and Trail. Designed by Rivendell to blend timeless aesthetics with modern strength and reliability, the Silver1 delivers everything we want in a square taper crank: clean lines, sensible gearing options, exceptional durability, and compatibility with the components riders actually use. Built from premium cold-forged 7075-T6 aluminum, it's strong, lightweight, and engineered to withstand years of loaded touring, commuting, gravel riding, and everyday adventures.
The Silver1 uses the proven JIS square taper interface, making it compatible with most traditional bottom brackets while maintaining excellent chainline options. Available in a wide range of crank lengths, it offers riders the opportunity to fine-tune fit without chasing trends. If you're building a classic steel bike, refreshing a trusted touring rig, or upgrading from a heavy stock crank, the Silver1 is a refined, durable choice that looks right at home on virtually any bicycle.
