Post by: Matt S. on March 01, 2008, 09:45 PM: Were the Prince Albert cranks that awesome back then or is it just a matter of not being able to find them too often now, that they bring big dollars? For the guys that used them, as well as other cranks, how do they rate?

They came out a bit after I got out of riding so I never had any experience with them.

I guess if an NOS S&M pad set goes for $120+, these cranks should do OK :)

They are the Hutch aerospeeds of the 90s; very hard to find now cos they all broke. Esp the early ones.

No, they were nothing like profiles, although the 3rd and 4th designs did use the same spilines as profiles.

Post by: SaMAlex on March 06, 2008, 07:47 PM: They went for a quite good price in the end. I bet if they were in the USA more people would have bidded on them
