They would be a nice touch for anyone who's done or is doing a CC Replica bike

whats the script with the non-wrapped crank and pedal bosses? are these a mid school flight, or a truly early gem?

*edit, just found this-

an early 90s set .

What worries me more is that the name of the person selling the crank is Craigcampbell69bmx which indicates that this is Craig himself, and the description says "used by old school BMX legend Craig Campbell".

Who the hell calls themself a "BMX legend"? You really have to think incredibly highly of yourself to do that.

Maybe he hit his head harder than we thought at Cologne?

I don't think its Mr Campbell doing the selling. If you read the answers to the questions he/she never says 'my' its says 'Craig's bike' - maybe being sold on his behalf then...

Q: which one of Craigs bikes were they off and from what year cheers Jon
A: They are from the last chrome Prolite that Craig owned before he sold it around 1995...

weird... you don't talk about yourself like that.

'Yes Ed would like some tea and he is often partial to biscuits also'

Its def Craig selling them. He has been touting them on his Facebook for a few weeks.
I just repled on there and told him that they aint "real" flights. Im now waiting to be deleted from his friend list $:-\$

Yup, could well be CC - see this http://www.fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php'storyid=6343

Do you still own a BMX bike?
Craig: I've got some Redline Flight Cranks, I'm gonna get a bike soon, see if I've still got it in me.

Mayve he was a legend, but who the hell calls themself a legend? Surely you need a modicum of humility.

i put it down to the bump on his head..or a sales ploy

And so he should! He should sign them and make them worth even more. Tim Ruck has got a GT Malet stem that used to be Craigs, and Geoff had got a Prolite frame that was his. With those cranks, thats well on the way to a whole bike

Its him. I spoke to him on is facebook about it yesterday.
Unless someone has hijacked his ebay AND his facebook just to sell some pretty crappy cranks.

(pasted from facebook:)
Craig Campbell- 42 people watching, no bids, 3 days to go...
Chuckie Burrows- You have keep it!!!
Martin Welzerno- No bids??? i can link it in a german bmx forum if you like , maybe someone there can use it?
Martin Welzerah- ok, will be a bid-war in the end...haha. linked it also in that forum i was talkin about.
Alex Leech- Sorry to say Craig but they are early to mid 90s cranks. Not a patch on "real" 80s flights. I think the chainring might be even later?
Craig Campbell- Yeah I know, the chain ring is more recent too but I'm selling em anyway...
