Never saw those later cranks used bitd .

Those hubs are commonly known as "sheriff stars" , roughly 85/86 onwards I think . They fetch big money for some BMX builders but also very very desirable with the road/track guys . I'm into my campy stuff but earlier Record & Tipo pieces where it was used more so in BMX .

Here are a couple of recent auctions for that design ..............................
