i know nothing about them Dan, other than they look well nice!

i have been using these on many bikes over the years,but seems odd that i have never seen another set.
they had the graphite deal across the rim when i got them imported.

do they flex much Dan, like the 36 hole ones or are these actually stiff?

harris · « **Reply #4 on:** April 17, 2013, 08:15 AM »

pickle · « **Reply #5 on:** April 17, 2013, 08:27 AM »

i've got some 36 graphites with the stamping,only seen one other pair before.

Only one set known to exist. Must be worth at least 5k to the right person.

harris · « **Reply #11 on:** April 17, 2013, 12:31 PM »

well over the last few days i have put up threads on all the big sites even spoke with maurice meyer
not a bloody sausage .
how can this be that no one knows nothing about them.

Hi Dan remember seeing an advert in bmx plus with Fred blood riding a white set on a blue quad .think it was called blood,sweat+z48's.will see if i can find it to see if it says anything about the colours they made.

ACS likely let a few black ones slip through in a limited run. Like I told you on vintage, yours is likely the only set I've seen in 10 years since I got back into it. Possibly the only surviving set? Value will be tough to estimate.
Not sure if ACS keeps old production records, but maybe contact them?

harris · « **Reply #18 on:** April 23, 2013, 05:18 PM »

thanks mate,i have exhausted every route,more curious than anything so tried all the old sites
as across them all i was sure someone had a set.

pickle · « **Reply #19 on:** April 24, 2013, 07:25 AM »

looked at that advert Dan but it doesn't say anything about colour
