It makes you wonder how many sets were produced ?? .

I think they are prototype cranks, Dennis may be able to shed light on them.

That's what I was thinking Ron , advertised but never available to the public/superceded prior to release .

Whats the chances of someone in the UK having those parts BITD?
I will be honest........all i remember SST for was the dirt skirts!
I collect BMX not for the rareity but for the pure fact that all of the bikes i have got i wanted as a kid. I used to drool over Bobs Haro and the old TA advertisements. When i see Subwax buying grips for £200 i wonder why? He must have 8 pairs of them already!
I know i bought a TRM for £500 and i look back now and think......i would never get my money back on that but i have always wanted a TRM and i ended up getting the ultimate one.
I would never spend fortunes on a part if it meant nothing 'personally' to me and a set of hubs dont play my strings.

I wasnt picking on your hubs mate! :LolLolLolLol:
I have seen things go ridiculously cheap recently and we have all asked...has the bubble burst? Then you see RARE parts going for silly money. Would you have really gone to your local bike shop/importer and got SST hubs for your bike BITD? These parts are only now bought by people like subwax due to the rareity of the item. A GEN 1 is rare but would be bought because, in my eyes, they are one of the most iconic BMX's ever. I can understand them being iconic, rare and expensive. Does building a bike with SST hubs, the early Redline Cranks that knowone has ever seen and other rare parts make it a good build or make you a great collector? Who knows?
BMX collecting is what tickles your fancy. Lee (Radman) has the best collection. Rare parts all over the place on every build. Hutch beartraps growing out of his ass, but he hasnt got the best bike........... A Gen 1. WHY? Cos he doesnt like them. I rate Lee for that. I rate myself for having a NOS TRM. Thats what i want. ;)
You get me bro? You get me? :LolLolLolLol:
