I'm guessing there are spokes under there?
Seems alot of money for some ally plate.

No there are just alloy plate.

not sure about the late 70's thing though - I remember seeing these in BMX Plus! in the mid 80's, in the "trick stuff" section, not long before wheel discs come out.

Yeah, but they are pedal proof!!
No more pesky pedals in your spokes when you're roughing it out on the track for position. I reckon they'll catch on.  :laugh:
