about 2007 I parted up my bmx bike and sold it off bit by bit on ebay.
it was
Torker double top tube chromed, 4130 cr mo
acs z rims
flite cranks
mongoose stainles handlebars and seatpost
kashmax seat
tange seatclamp
LRP pedal cages(very very rare)
mx1000 brakes.
I had a set of pre production flitecranks
6 sided spline, no binder bolt-you had to ride with the allen wrench in your pocket as the center bolt kept loosening.
the crankset fetched around 450, the frame likewise.
when the day was done I cleared 1500 bucks for the lot.
(the money is now in My PUCH with a lot of change to spare)
the frame and crankset went to South East Asia
I have noted that many of my hobby items (rc cars) are heading that direction for serious money.

First off let's start with the original REDLINE Flight cranks.These can be identified by having a six splined spindle and no pinch bolts.These were made available to the public in 1980 and are known as "FLIGHT CRANKS" they are somewhat scarce(compared to other Flight crank versions) and used a threaded (28T) spindle.REDLINE did list the part number for these as 401 but did not advertise them as such in any known advertisements or catalogs.
