Hi there,

Just wondering if you are going to change your ad to reflect the fact that these are not 20 years old, these are at best 2000 us made dual pinch wrap around boss and at worst post 2002 taiwan made wrap arounds......  They are most definitely not old school....

my two pennorth will get the puppies pulled if he don't change it

His answer:

I had euro botom bracket on my Mini Robinson and flight cranks 20 years ago if not more, Maybe 24 years ago. The double pinch is newer but not new school, Maybe mid school. Old school guys buy these, The title is to get potential bidders to look at the advert and old school gets people looking. Make your own decisions as to purchase or not. You can see on the pic its twin bolts.

My reply:

I'm fully aware that Euro BB's were on BMX bikes in the 80's but if you read what I wrote it was that Euro BB's were'nt available with flights 20 years ago .

Twin pinch flights are still available now coincidentally with Euro BB .

Your title of old school is misleading .

Hey ho

The guy said the chrome was 20 years old?

[Mattdub]

I just got this from him:

so what do you want me to do then ?


My reply:

I would advise removing "Old School" from the title and text  , you say the chrome is 20 plus years old ? .

The crank arms could be 1990's to current but most mid school sets were US Bottom bracket .

Just got this:

Iam sorry for my ignorance I will alter the listing

If we don't try then someone could unwittingly buy them thinking they were OS .
