Not for me either i'm afraid. I think Lenny has the only known original set left in existance unless somone can correct me. They are super rare and quirky. I like the Alans/Mirage/Wigan connection too, as it's local to me and Alan was one of the founding fathers of bmx in the uk.

Why are the new ones bigger than the originals?

^^^ I guess to appeal to a wider (aka bigger, older and heavier) audience!

Saw these ones at the Happy Bike Meeting in Tokyo on Sunday:-

Currently have a set on my haro
Wasnt sure at first but growing on me daily
Specially as they were only £25 from Alan's on offer
The twin tube tube and the cross bar seems to work together
