I think that was the time custom riders sold static ones as well.

the static ones came a little later around 1997 and look almost identical to the rgd ones and were also made in the uk so im thinking custom riders were involved with static somehow

i've had a couple of the rgd ones in the past like the ones above, the problem i had with them was the pinch screw head used to snap off if you tightened it too much. it must have happened to a lot as they changed them to a grub screw type after a while. i'm sure i still have an rgd one kicking around with the grub screws. i'll try and look it out.

I know the static ones were in house. I'm not sure if they were made by Roy green devolopments  or not.
I'm thinking a lot of the static stuff is exactly the same as RGD but made by someone else, as Roy decided to stop making bits. But I may be wrong. Got to say both companies produced some great parts.  :daumenhoch:

Mason at Custom Riders sold, and was involved with as far as I remember, RGD as far back as the 80's, remember the stems & spinners? Static was CR's house brand  :daumenhoch:
I've got somewhere One of the first lot of Primo Perverts that came out, but for the life of Me I can't remember when I bought it! I'm sure it was post '95 though, I'm guessing '96.

I was right in thinking the Primo Pervert came out in '96, well according to 23mag.
