There has just been a spate of them on here and eBay including a couple of NOS ones. Just bad timing for you but be patient and keep your eyes peeled :daumenhoch:

Buy a coloured one and remove the paint or anno - saves waiting around and should save you some $$$.  Find a rough one as there's no point messing up a nice one then get cracking.  SteveP had an excellent thread showing how to achieve the correct brushed finish.  (You can polish it to a BLING finish if you want but this is frowned upon by the BMX  :police:  ;D )

Aye  ::)

and Pro necks always tend to be fair dearer than Tuf necks too  ;)


around £150  people ask/get  for a nice coloured one


As for the difference in Pro neck and Pro neck II  :-\ ???

Is it the length ?

Shape is the same from pics I've seen  ???

As far as I could find out a while back Pro neck (1981) is an earlier version than Pro neck II (1984ish), the shafts and wedge are different and not interchangeable.
