They were made by Sugino and i think they sold them under their own name as well as Redline.

I think they are a little harder to find than 401s, I have three sets of single pinch 401s, but no 400s  :(

I'd like to get decals for my Sugino 400's but they're harder to get than the crank themselves  :-\

I used to have 3 of the 400 crank arms. I think the story was that who ever had them before me had a problem with an arm and he managed to get a warentee replacement. The replacement they sent was the wrong side so they sent him another. It used to really bother me cos 2 of them said Sugino and one said redline. I wanted to have a set that said Redline but I always had to have at least one Sugino. The thing is, I cant remember where I got them or where they went! Ah well, easy come ...

I don't think the Suginos had decals did they? They just sold their sets to Haro etc. to put on their top-end completes.

NO its true sugino 400's didnt have stickers and they where slightly cheaper than 401's BITD. I bought mine boxed from Ribble cycles preston.  :daumenhoch:
and as every one else said they where made by sugino and then sold on to other companys who stuck them on there bikes. I might be wrong here but I think the laserlite ones where stamped sugino.

Thats a lot of money for what were in all honesty pretty crappy cranks! I snapped two sets (one wasn't mine  :-[) Mind you look at Aerospeeds!

yeah, and Prince Alberts. If they are crap ... there are less of them about now!

I never really saw peregrines as major players in the crank market tho. I guess if they came stock on bikes, its what people want for their builds.

I am in need of an orphan 180mm non-drive 400 arm can't remember which one though, but beggers can't be choosers, so if anyone stumbles across one please let me know :daumenhoch:
