Post by: Munnyella on February 23, 2012, 08:11 AM: about the same second hand, no idea new.

EDIT

The ones i've seen recently, fairly new ones have been going for similar money to twin pinchers.

I don't know how long prolines have been around for, are the ones ^^ up there^^ old ones?

Yeah, they do still look nice.

I have some single pinch ProLines (cost £90 in here with BB) and they do almost look like 400s (to the untrained); its just a shame they are noticably wider to my twin pinch Profiles. Where they join the spindle, they are 34mm vs 30mm of the Profiles.

It seems if you had the single pinch of the ProLines and, the arm width of the Twin pinched Profiles, you would then have the perfect 400s replicas! :)

I actually prefer the overall look of the Twin pinch Profiles due to the thinner arms..
