Title: Twin Pinch Redline Cranks?
Post by: Haro82 on January 22, 2013, 10:35 PM: Why did these sell for this? ???

Is it because they put old school on them ?

Post by: That Swan Guy on January 22, 2013, 10:46 PM: Because:

a) if you buy each of the components from different vendors it will cost you this much to buy unless you shop around.

b) people are lazy and won't shop around (see answer a)

Note: It is cheaper to buy the whole package from the States (inc postage) than it is to buy in component form in the UK!

I was only looking cos I'm putting some up for sale and wondered how much they cost. I got mine from the US a bit back and got stung for customs so didn't really save much.
