There was few of these knocking about on the Museum about 3 years back now. I think they date from around 84/85, and ranged from $40 - $70. They also made a road bike sized headset that was stamped too  :daumenhoch:

As far as I know these were only ever made for road/fixie type bikes not for a bmx...my brother bought about 6 of these from an old bike shop about 15 years ago
