Griff's Haro Master Build (Life begins at 40)

<< < (6/18) > >>

lammychop:
what im saying is if  buy the haro fusions for 20 quid thats 20 wasted if you buy the more colectable stuff it an investment and will cost you nothing long term

griff:
you're right lammychop, but if I'm going to have this ready to ride by the time winter's over I have to trim the budget somewhere!
Once they're out of the packet proper dx would probably start depreciating quickly anyway - figured pedals get the most abuse

at least the fusions are going into a nice crank  ;)

lammychop:
dx in a packet let me know where you find them :LolLolLolLol:

griff:
they're stacked up next to the NOS unicorn horns and assorted hens' teeth

They are fine for an old school rider mate - they are genuine redline just new  :)

As for the term "re-pop" well it's hard to say that in this case because they never really stopped making them. The twin pinch varients initially popped up many years ago with a few minor variations since.

You can read more about redline cranks here : http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=26518.0

You may want to put up a wanted thread in the wanted section as you may get some new / hardly used ones from a RAD member for cheaper than the new ones on ebay just ask for "twin pinch redline cranks"

I have a set of the 180mm ones on my 82 supergoose rider and I much prefer them to the 175mm one peice I had on it initially and also to the alloy SR crank I had on it after that. Ideal OS rider cranks in my opinion.

I'm with John on this one. All the purists will rip into you about your cranks, but new Redlines are sweet cranks and look the nuts on a bike and can be picked up for sensible money on here all day long. 400's and 401's are for show ponies now, so chuck a set of twin-pinchers on and live the dream as we could never afford them as kids - both my freestyle my riders have them.......
