I would add a 2.5 generation (the later Alex ones)
His earlier cranks are Gen 2, the ones reissued this summer.
Yes, who am I to correct the guys at Profile ?? :LolLolLolLol:

I read that a while ago and thought at the time there was one missing (the later set that I have got)
So it looks like:
Gen 1 - Made from a folding a flat sheet into box section, no sticker indent
Gen 2 - The same as Gen 1 but with a sticker indent
Gen 3 - Made from a tube, but still quite box shaped, with sticker indent
Gen 4 and beyond - Rounder tube, engraved arm.
OK, who is going to Email Profile and put them straight ;D
Mattdub:
This is a useful thread as well ;) .

Basically it comes down to whether peeps count the Hutch/Profile ( non indent ) as 1st Gen Profile cranks or not :) ( some do some don't it seems ) .
SaMAlex:
Profile do. They even said that their "Gen 1" were the same as the hutch cranks.

I know Alex ! ;D
SaMAlex:
So profile put someone elses name on their cranks a few times. (Hutch with Gen 1s, and GT with Gen 4s).
That is such a cop out for a company to put their name on something someone else made, and is also selling. Why bother?
