Are you really that surprised Dan?  After all, there's not many about these days......  (they're all in your shed!!!!)

How much were they new BITD?   I think they were £210 or summat?

I think a NOS set of them would go for £300 all day long  :)

I agree. Not cheap at all.  But if you were writing your midschool top ten, SuperPros would be right up there eh?

Ive got some King cones on a set of superpros. I also used to make some that worked the same, only mine were ally, and were a straight cone shape. I used them on everthing, much better than screw on cones that always came loose, and then the gap between the cones and the bearing caused the spindle to bend.
