i like the stem / fork combo, something different but mega bucks and rare, if they was as common as haro's i would most proberly think they was cack, didn't one win rockford the other year, just a f&f,bars,cranks in a display box ?

they are rare indeed, frame sets and cranks are reasonably easy to come by but everything else, well you could wait years, was there not a cook bros in the bike of the month a few months aga $:-\$

Speak to the living legend that is "Dennis Dain" .... he used to ride & work for Cook Bros.

He can be found in 'Old School Race'

Here are my Cooks cranks with PPP Powerdisk on my Slingshot. I always used Cooks Cranks BITD, never ran any other crank.
