Profile did a limited release of the box-style cranks a little while ago and a big groan went up from the BMX community because it seems that the finished cranks were anything but the quality so afforded by Profile in the past. Booger-looking welds, finicky chrome and even grind marks could be seen on the finished product. Naturally, people started looking elsewhere to get their old-school fix
Meanwhile, in Australia (that is right, the land Down Under) there was this guy or company called Johnny Chopper that were making cranks that looked and worked very well, being able to be mounted on almost any 48-splined spindle. They were less expensive than the Profile anniversary set and the chrome was virtually flawless. Johnny Chopper received the respect that one can only give to a person or company that actually cares and stands by its product and these cranks are no exception. They look so tempting that even yours truly is hankering for a set and might get a set pretty soon. Besides, their retro-inspired frames would make almost any old-school BMXer take a second look. Made ya'll drool eh?
