Post by: CD17 on December 17, 2007, 05:06 PM: I would say early to mid 90s, I remember having a pair on my 95 GT Fueller BITD.

Post by: rarman1 on December 18, 2007, 05:59 PM: dwain the profile gt cranks were on PFT bikes from 92 but i think i did see a pic of them in a gt catalog from 89 !!!

as for wildwoods i think they are 96 onwards !!!

Post by: wildwood1971 on December 18, 2007, 06:13 PM: 96!!!! c-ock think i'll have to lie to :LolLolLolLol:

Would mine be profile made too?
Title: Re: GT cranks date????
Post by: rarman1 on December 18, 2007, 06:24 PM: i think they are made by redline as they look very similar to prolines and i would hazzard a guess the the spindle is 20mm tapered down to 19mm with six splines,

they might have made these from 96 - 2000 after which the made the power series cranks out of alloy.

i'm trying to research the gt cranks as much as i can at the mo once i am certain of the facts i will put up a post for them :daumenhoch:

i think they may have shared a similar circle of manufacturers as the 90's progressed pressumable as not as many manufacturers about due to the arse falling outa bmx, thats my thinkin anyway, and im mental :crazy2:
