IIRC, the CT cranks came in 2 styles the CT-BMX and the CT-A5, the CT-BMX was a swaged, pressed on spider that you couldn't change and the CT-A5 cranks you could change.

Tis true...I have an A5 & you can indeed remove the spider...

Completely agree with Marty, sometimes you have to play the long game in this collecting hobby. Everything appears eventually, I have just picked up a frame that I have been waiting for 5 years.

Hell yeah it's worth the wait, I've also recently got some parts that have been on my wish list for well over 10 years. Personally I don't see the point of buying any and everything just because you can, I'd rather hunt for the stuff thats important to me and my builds.

And Sean, that frame

I might be interested in the forks though
