I just made the assumption to odyssey due to their cranks being called excalibur although the cranks have a e :-[

Post by: jT Racing on February 01, 2010, 09:17 PM: not really. it's an obscure and pretty much unseen brand on the scene. only ever seen a few bits in many years. mattdubbbbbbbbb had one on his champion build in 2008. first time i seen any xcaliber in the flesh.

Post by: Moose on February 01, 2010, 09:20 PM: There were a few for sale on US ebay about 5 or so years ago - NOS in the bag. I'd bet that's where mattdub picked his up. In fact I bet he bought them all and is hoarding them :LolLolLolLol:
