SO who really did? Was it Linn Kastan, Duke Romero or ... ? Snafu's website credits Romero, an employee of Redline, but the patent is in Kastan's name. Later on after the Seattle Bike Supply acquisition of Redline, there was a patent granted to an Ysmael Romero for the dual pinch Flite cranks essentially, I assume they are the same guy. So I am really confused. I also remember hearing stories that Jim Alley from Profile was literally a few days behind Kastan in applying for their patent. Then other stories that Roger Durham was testing Bullseye cranks before either one of them, but didn't file for the patent until much later.

Some give me the low down on how this revolutionary product came to be.

Finally a thread worth reading....Great question!

HUTCH FREAK

I cup my farts on 1 piece cranks...............
