Legion stuff was made by a bmx + mtb rider from sheffield known as kodak (never knew his real name...) He was a regular on the sheffield bmx scene for a good few years. Decent street/park rider, he faded away about 4 years ago, he did bars, pegs, stems + sprockets too i think. Durable, rare kit indeed. All made in sheffield i think.  8)

I sold my Legion stem on ebay a few weeks back - basically a taiwanese lump of alloy with the company name etched into it - the sort of stuff you pic form the catalog and then have your name put on - but it was strong as hell. Mine was pretty mint and went for about £4 I think!
