99% of old school bikes have US BB, I ordered US 180mm

Just ordered mine too, 180mm American for the Ruffell 'Goose. I've got a few months to put some cash aside for them but I'm sure it'll be well worth it.

can get some real ones for that

thats what i have been thinking , you can get some original ones ?
why would you want repopped ones
stuff is dropping in price big time and a set of gen2s are certainly doable for a little bit more cash

Almost! There have been a few gripes over on VintageBMX about the price which, as some have pointed out, is more than the 24" Graphite Skyways, but I can see that, for a limited run, there is likely to be more work required to make the Profile cranks than the 24" Graphites. I intend to use the Profiles on my 'Goose for racing, while still keeping it looking like a replica of Ruffell's bike. The thing that puts me off getting a set of '80's Gen2's is that even Profile themselves have said they weren't all that strong. I'd much rather put my faith in a set of new cranks, with modern manufacturing techniques and quality control, than in a set of 20+ year old cranks. That's the only reason I want a set - Oldschool looks with newschool strength (hopefully!

)

nah, a pair of minty OG ones would set you back min £300 surely, even in the cash drought

MartyC · « **Reply #16 on:** March 29, 2008, 01:44 PM »

I've only seen Zippy's ones sell cheap lately; all the others have been way up over £300 biguns. They sound good value but I think I'd like to see what they look like first

they'll be ltd edition, and exactly the same as the OG's apart from a serial no. on the inside of the arm, I guess me and kenny will have one of the first from the production line, really lookin forward to getting mine, so they'll be on my 'secret' build for MK this year !

Blimey! When you add on the cost of a spindle, bottom bracket, bolts & postage, they work out more expensive than the Profiles!

Bloody nice arms, but I think I'll wait until July.
