why do 400s make more money than 401s, bitd 400s were cheaper and considered to be inferior than 401s ?
-
Rarer now perhaps ????
You see more builds with 401's rather than 400's. 401's are an easy rechrome, 400's aint due to the spider.
-
For the same reason why Hutch cranks fetch more than 401's - Inferior cranks + they broke more often + not so many around = stupid amounts of £££££ :LolLolLolLol:
-
you're right there sean :LolLolLolLol:
-
Talking of 400's has anyone got a BB set & spindle as i've just picked up a set of 400 crank arms ???
-
its because the 400's were specific to some completes i.e the laserlite which makes them more in demand as if you are building a laserlite you need 400's which makes them desirable pushing the price up. ???

Wouldn't that only be the case for Sugino 400's ???
I believe it is only down to the fact there are less around due to 401's being the superior choice BITD.
It would seem there's quite a few things that fetch high prices due to rarity and not coz they're better.

Agreed, performance really has nothing to do with price

i guess that explains it then, didnt think about the "complete" issue just as a stand alone part :daumenhoch:
