I haven't searched much but I see that Redline offers a chromoly one piece crank, about $35.

I have (AFAIK) 1 old chromoly crank off the old GT Mach I I've been cannibalizing for years. I have one more old BMX I took apart and I'll check that crank out.

So, what other options are there for chromoly one piece cranks that may be cheaper than the Redline, or should I be able to find used pieces cheaper?
 
Black Ops brand, the logo will come off in seconds if you use toothpaste/fast orange/chrome polish and an old toothbrush on it, same for their other parts.

You should be able to buy a vintage Sugino or Takagi crank for $50.

Or ashtibula(spelling) are nearly indestructable.
I have had better luck finding the lower end 3 piece cranks such as "Haro Fusion," with spindle for $5.00, or I bought a used(GT from target)bmx for $65.00, robbed the cranks, replaced them with the DYNO 1 piece, sold the GT for 50$
 
+1 on the Black Ops. I'm running a set of those on one bike, and they're every bit as good as the Redline Chromoly OPC i have on another build. Either one of these are good choices, as far as current-production OPCs go, but the Black Ops OPC is easily found in either chrome or black, and in either 175mm or 180mm versions. The Redlines cost more, and I never see them in 180mm.

+2 on the black-ops

I have a chrome 180mm on my bike, it looks good and seems like a very strong, well-made part
 
Take a look on sidewallactionsports.com, they have 175mm OPC w/ 44t chainwheel for $1.99, yes $1.99. They are take offs from Hoffman bikes. They are located in the open box/ scratched section.

Oh, naw-I didn't actually go thru with the order. I was thinking I'd do 10 for $20 and be set for life on OPCs... but it said the max available was 1, so I clicked "back" on my browser....

So, as of right now, that crank is still available...i think.
