Raceface crank timeline help req

[Scrat]

Is anyone a turbine crank expert?

When did the first IB crankset go into production? what sort of numbers were made?
Turbine LP went on sale in 93, billet at first then from Forged in 94.

Cheers in advance

Just thought I'd give this unanswered 15 year old thread a nudge.
Anyone have any clarity on the timeline for RaceFace products?

Next post might not be until November 2039...

I have a set of Turbines which are marked RaceFace only, no 'forged', so I assume these are early?

I don't know whether there's a timeline anywhere, but @FluffyChicken knows a lot about them.

I'd assume so too, pictures are easier

Now there is a picture thread somewhere, probably should try make a timeline-ish out of them.

Toying with putting a set on my current Merlin project, but being a '92 frameset I'm guessing they won't be quite period correct.

Period enough as a future upgrade, I-Beams are 1993+ and LPs are 1994+

Else no they are not.

Here are those cranks I mentioned.
