That makes at least three then, there's a kid gets down a local jump spot near me with parts off his dad's old bike and some of them parts are a set of profiles - they look like the ones I had bitd but I'm fooked if I know if they are Gen 1, Gen 2 or what  :LolLolLolLol:  OH, and he won't sell them as I asked and he said his dad would "go fcuking mental if I did"  :LolLolLolLol:

I know! I was in the shed looking for an MTB stem for my wifes bike and found them! ha ha. They were in a bag with a redline flight ring and a pair of silver DXs.

Gen 2 Profile box cranks :

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Yep, so cheap it was like the feeling you get looking down from a great height!  :2funny:

It was weeks before I "got into" the OS thing and then found out how much they go for. After I sold my full set, I saw a mashed single Aero speed crank arm go for more than I got!!! Oh well.

Nearly helpful, but I still don't know if the ones Bill posted the pic are gen 1 or gen 2 as it's bloody hard to tell from that thread or am I being stoopid?  :LolLolLolLol:

That was loads of help. Thanks. I have got Gen2 and Gen3, both with the same stickers as bills set.

The sticker indentation is the give away. No indentation = Gen 1.  Bills cranks have the sticker indentation so they are Gen2

Here's a version to confuse everything ! lol .

A square section like Gen 1 ( more square section than Gen 2 ) but possibly with the Decal indentation , maybe a Gen 1 1/2 ? .



Gen 2 ..........................

That little report said that the Gen1 and Gen2 were identical apart from the sticker indentation.

That makes those Gen2, same as Bills ones in the box (and the one I found at the weekend)
