1100-1400 usd for cranks, stem and hub, and no chainring? they're beautiful, but you could buy a full xt groupset for a third of that (not bmx, but ok)

Bringing new designs to life with old school methods of manufacturing. Never change this. When I was younger I remember every kid in my town that had profile cranks and being envious of them. I asked my mom for profile cranks for Christmas one year from dan's comp, and she went to a bike shop near us and they talked her into redline cranks because they didn't sell profile. 😥 I pretended to be happy even though inside I was crushed.

I broke my DH cranks (Funn Hooka DH) two years ago, got a little crash on the road, also got a scar on my elbow. Since then I do not trust to aluminum cranks. I've installed CrMo BMX cranks and didn't have a single issue with them. Love them.

wow, that took me back to the early 1980's when I was a 10-13 year old kid! I started racing BMX back then and the 2 best cranksets you could buy were the redline flight's and the profiles. Which brand you bought put you into a certain camp, it was a big deal, it was like the Ford vs Chevy camps that the neighborhood dad's would settle into. So cool to see the owner/inventor still crafting away all these years later.

I run a pair of Elites and it's nice to know Profile's owner fabricated those cranks personally. (All my BMX bikes are Profile crank spec'd)... Keep up the amazing work you and your crew provide in the cycling industry. PS- I'm patiently awaiting the return of the Elite (nickel plated) chainrings to your inventory. I need finish a custom build and I cannot settle for less quality!! Please let me know when?? Cheers!, pJw

Really wished you guys would somehow integrate that (dub-tail fixture?) design you use from building your stems for your cranks & axle. Maybe an odd number for a two bolt clamp down. Never really trusted the spline design for any type of weight distribution, those are just made for belt drives.
