For Sale FSA Afterburner Retro Downhill Crankset, Mega Rare!

[Downhill-Dan]

I was saving these for something special but no projects planned and iv got a mint set of XTR so here's someone else chance to get these mega rare cranks!

Search the web on them, you won't find much info at all, I haven't seen another set in over 20 years! They were expensive new so didnt see many even back then. Cheers. Final price Drop!! £150 posted!!

FSA Sidewinder cranks.

they are not sidewinder cranks, I had a set of Sidewinders back in the day which we the best budget freeride/DH cranks at the time, but pretty much looked like Shimano Xt cranks. These bad boys are something mental and a bit special, never seen them before either.

Are these not the “Afterburner’” cranks that were forged from 7k series aluminium and then cnc’d. Sidewinders were forged from molten gouda I believe.

You even had a set @KermitGKona88

Yes I was a bit punchy last night, these are indeed Afterburner cranks, not Sidewinders as previously erroneously quote by myself...
