WHAT? This is terrible news what's going to happen to the value of all my os Profile stuff if they re-make it all?

Nothing, because I don't have any :LolLolLolLol:. Surprised there's not a rant thread about them doing this ::).

I might be able to pick up a set of Gen2 cranks I can afford now ;).

If they only release 200 sets worldwide, I don't think anyone is gonna get a cheap set :-\

They are apparrently going to be made with the original tools/machinery so not so much a re-pop as an original revived.

Post by: gossa on March 04, 2008, 01:39 AM: I think you can pick stuff up OK, I just bought a set of Gen2's off of zippy for less than £200. They will get a rechrome and a new BB and I have a new set of stickers that have been in my sticker box for 23 years to go on them. I reckon they'll stand me in at £240 all in and they will be like NOS when I'm finished. They are missing the spider but a new set BITD would have been £160-£180 so I don't think all this stuff is stupidly priced.

I think Profile will differentiate those anniversary cranks.
