Race Face Turbines, which year?

[ectoplasmosis]

In which year(s) was this exact design of Race Face Turbine cranks made? They’re square-taper if that helps…

Many thanks!

I've seen similar on a 94/95 zaskar, so maybe around then? But honestly no idea. So take my guess as a free early bump

Looked at catalogs so changing my guess to 1997

Pretty confident @FluffyChicken will be able to tell you.

Is that gunpowder? Can be anywhere 93-95 I guess. But the resident expert is @FluffyChicken indeed. Or check the brochures in the archive?

Not an expert, but I try remember what I've not forgotten.

Compact Drive, they are LPs* style.
What does the serial look like (on both).

Can probably get you better details and year(s) just busy to check at the moment.
But quick gestimate..
98/99ish and the DH version I would say with no machining on the sides. Hence the * above.
Though being Compact Drive setup, would go against being a DH version..

But could be out on the date by a year or two.
RaceFace was sold in 1997 when the rest was sold in 1997 to GT.

Thank you!

Serials are 1024 on drive-side and 1026 on NDS.

I thought it was Syncros that was sold to GT?

That's right, what was I thinking of...
One one Canadian company to another..


So as a side who took RaceFace?
I thought Bainton sold all the companies when Rocky Mountain needed selling.
Doesn't matter either way..

Any idea how to decipher the serial numbers on my cranks?

1024 on drive-side and 1026 on NDS.

Thanks again for the info!

I never really understood the serials in the Turbines. I’ve had them with hand etched number, with numbers stamped and with no numbers at all.
