Checking the bay for a new set of pedals, I came across a set of Profile pedals with a staggering price tag.. or at least my shallow pockets thnk so.

Since there is such a high bid and I'm not "outing a deal" I thought I could get some input here.

Are these great pedals? Just rare, or what?

Thanks

All of the above - Rare first, cool second.

About as rare as Vato's SSTs.....

You could go for these....

Very cool and rare pedals and it seems alot of people are building PROFILEs lately.
I had 3 sets myself!!!

oh Snap...I like that yellow!

Wow Rodney. I didn't know you had such a killer Profile collection!..

That yellow is crazy too for sure.

Rodney - post your Taiwan knock-off garbage somewhere else - lol

...um so are you still building that 24"?

Gonna put the Profile pedals on it?

Can you put the black Profile spider on it - petty please!

yeah, the Horseshoes are a true holy grail for many collectors. Especially Profile guys. I went back and forth about getting some for my Champ Pro replica and decided against it.

Honestly, for two reasons.

1) natch, the price. Though I could have afforded some, and the build was worthy.

2a) the finish just wouldn't have filled the bill. Maybe a custom finish for the build, since I took a liberty or two anyway. But:

2b) I just couldn't bring myself to refinish such a rare and almost impossible to find component.

and to Vato, I hate you. I hate you the way, as a lifelong drummer, I hate Neil Peart.

At least until you leave me those pedals, the lockjaw, and the hubs in your will. Then I'll like you!

Andy,
I am still building the 24" Profile, this one is one of 2 that I have. The other one will be SICK!!!
STEM,CRANKS,PEDALS,F/F,BARS,H/F HUBS

Profiler.
I will add you in my will

The only non silver Profile spider I've seen in a long while - I assume it's original black anno?

I bought it from a friend and it was NOS except it is not ano!!! and its a 130mm

the black spider is paint? Or powder?

Ahhh - did the black ones come anno or paint?

Vato, You are a cold man......
Why would you tease us like that.
I did not know that much profile stuff even exsited,
let alone at one persons home....
Thats just wrong......
Very very nice.....

The black one I have looks like paint.

i had a pair of profile pedals (well used)

i actually found a used national pro locally for sale years and years ago.

if memory serves me i think i gave the guy 200 bucks. i wasnt all that stoked about the bike itself. i was more interested in the pedals.

they are very, very rare. i was just happy to have these totalled used ones. and i dont normally buy non nos items.

cool to see them on ebay.

heres a pix of my crappy ones. ya gotta scout to find em.

lol - "where's Waldo?"

Tone,

That is somehow wrong, in a good way of course.

The candy in this thread is simply stunning, and holy batman..that Profile Cruiser...totally cool, totally sweet!

Oh yeah and thanks for pointing out this pedal auction..I need a set!

ooooh man i was hoping to get those pedals for my profile 24" build..lol...

Nice Gibson!

Really nice Gibson, and die cast collection. the profile is sorty cool

..and ah, the first gen. Hutch.....

Wow!!, That is a sweet yellow Profile!! The white one Has many color options I see.I Have 2 NOS black spiders,and one used, and they are all ANO.Ive been working on this prototype cruiser for a few months now.Here it is the first night I got it from X profile racer ,BIG JOHN TURNER.I'm currently polishing the profile hubs, matching crank will be here next week.Now I need bars, and a neck??Check out the extra support bars in the rear, Cool story behind this bike with no serial number.I can see I really got my work cut out for me to even be in the same ZIP. as those sweet rides!!

i imagine the cast magnesium Profile horseshoe pedals are even more rare. If i recall, Jay Stark has a set on his Profile Champ Pro.

I seriously dig that black/silver HOT PLATE that oldracer posted.
