That Technique is mint mike. Those forks polished looks GREAT. I have been looking for a technique frame and hanebrink fork myself.  WICKED NICE Build!!!!!

finally lol you know i love this bike but i would say te hubs may be harder or just as hard to find dont worry one day well both have the whole family of techs to show off later

I have no idea on a "exact" price of how much they cost....seems like they're going up in price though...

BUT...the ones that you have RJM sound like expert cranks with a square spindle...those don't go for too much money because no one (adults) with money wants to buy something that they can't ride...I'd say 50-75 depending on condition and if they're a full set...

TNT - Yours are a different story...it just depends on the day...I've seen tech cranks go for high and low...There is no Kelly Blue Book for BMX prices, but I'd say like anything else it depends on condition, size (which 181mm is a pretty desireable size), color, and if you have a full set...You're pretty much SOL if you don't have a spindle for those cranks since they are such and odd size...as far as a spider/sprocket, I'm not completely sure...my buddy ran a GT sprocket with them back in the day, but I'd guess that you would have to "bore" out the whole to make any non-technique sprocket or spider to work since the spindle is so fat...

Second Generation Tech cranks have a dual pinch design, the technique name is engraved on them, and the size of the cranks are written (with partial numbers from left to right when you hold the crank arms horizontal.  Those are the only differences....

Hey thanks alot mike, this helps alot. I have single pinch 181mm first generations, not engraved. I'm about to clean them up right now. And I have all the parts too. I was told that I would need to bore for the sprocket (not a problem). Thanks again for the info.

The mountain bike cranks have a smaller, six-splined spindle that is similar to redline flight crank spindles (but not interchangable).  They also use a slotted spider that you MUST have to run the cranks because they have no spot for a sprocket bolt on the back of the cranks...This is my NOS black set (this is the only pic that I have, I will take more pics later to show the difference with the spider...it is a slotted spider similar to the JAD spiders...These cranks also came with Euro bb's....The ones that I have are dual pinch with the name etched into them...

As far as colors, the colors that I know for a fact they made were : Polished, blue, red, green, purple, and this is the only set of black ones that I've ever seen

I'm on the lookout for a set of green, blue, and purple Technique cranks, so if anyone finds a set of them, let me know!

Here are the pics of the spindle/spider/and the backs of the arms that I promised...

Back of the arms...

Spindle with spacers/bearings....

Side shot of the spindle...

Integrated spider...

They are actually the lightest forks I've handled...especially when you factor in that they have a built in stem on them....They are made of aluminum and are very light/strong....

I meant to look into that, but have been swamped with my job and I coach High School baseball...I'll be busy for a few more weeks, but I will look into it and get back to you when I can..

killer build love how the bike came out. looks awsome like a full pro ride! a budy of mine just gave me a complet Tehnique mine he whants me to sale it for him. thanks for all the grate info!  way cool build you did.

OMG!! THIS IS SICK!!! If only they still made these things. Have you ever seen the Ace Holeshot frame? Sick monoque frame!!

Mike. I hope your bringing it to Rockford in a few weeks. I'd love to see it in person.
