Having the trickest scoot in staging is not always about maxing out your Centurion Card to get those depleted-plutonium brake studs. Lots of times, it is as simple as finding the “limited edition” runs of the products you already know and love. Back in February, BMXNEWS reported on some new-gen Speedline cranks which were being cranked out in black-only. Well, you know how that goes, as soon as you put black on the street, someone wants white (or, in this case “natural”).

Never one to overlook the wants and desires of the customer, smilin’ Bill Ryan whipped up a small batch of the natural “silver billet” edition. What these also have that moves the trickness meter ever further to the right is black-laser etching. Of the process, Bill says:

“It is a very costly and time-consuming process to do (black laser etching) on billet aluminum, so this may be the only run… or the price will be significantly higher to cover the extra steps to do the black laser.”

So if you like the look, now is the time to get them. They are available at all local Supercross BMX Dealers and of course J&R Bicycles the exclusive Mail Order Source for the Speedline Mini SX cranks in this Polished finish. And all of the Polished/Black Speedline Mini Cranks all come with a five-bolt spider. Sizes are from 140-170mm, in 5mm increments.
