Reading the thread on the Museum the figure $10000 is been talked about

I thought the going rate was £2000- £4000 for a set of these....

When was the last time, or, next time, you will see a NOS boxed set though

The guy has treasure in his hands and it will be a shark fest

The buyer has posted on the Museum, He said he didn't believe it till they turned up. So he has got them :

I love BMX to bits but i can think of a hell of a lot more things i would throw £4k at before a set of BMX hubs landed on the mat !

They should go on the fire with the snake posts, horrible looking things

have to agree, they're fugly!

oldschoolace · « **Reply #13 on:** March 16, 2015, 11:44 AM »

My initial thoughts were they are probably Hattie Jacques, and at potentially 4k a set it would be well worth someone's time. $:-\$

I like the front hub but the rear is mad

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

Profit is now in the eye of the lucky Barsteward that won them!

There's no way anybody's gonna knock up a set and sell them for $275 b.i.n

I've had a few sets in pieces over the years and they're far too complicated in their manufacture to repro them for anywhere near that price and make a profit.

AKGOFF · « **Reply #20 on:** March 17, 2015, 05:28 PM »

I know a 'NOS' set of black Gen 1 SSTs without the packaging went to OZ for $10K last year. Holy grail hubs without a doubt.

Ridiculous

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #22 on:** March 17, 2015, 10:06 PM »

I don't think they are fakes lol

I was explaining the term hattie jakes , which is a rhythm of the cockney for fakes

I agree they are pretty hard to fake

Goffy!!!! Come back!!!

factory pilot · « **Reply #24 on:** March 24, 2015, 08:21 AM »

They look far to complex to fake ....
And people pay thousands for them ?

I'm more excited by a re-issue unitron to be fair ...
I don't think I'd ever get that excited by a pair of hubs .. However rare they maybe ?
