I was so excited to see the original paperwork for them. Very Cool.

With that said, I am in serious need of a set with the 73mm bottom bracket. Anyone out there that wants to unload a set, hit me up!

Cool blog btw.

Now the bearing seal looks like it failed. Anyone know if this is repairable?

I just bought a Sram compact crank to replace them now that I’m too old to push big gears. The Wings still look Sweet and they are of course for sale.

Broke left arm inside the BB jumping, it was replaced around 2000, well after they stopped making them. The guy is still around, I agree it would be cool if they made them again, but they would need to be beefed up.

Kind of defeated the purpose as they were flexy compared to the steel versions. I am still running Sweet Wings on both MTB and Road. Too bad someone doesn’t buy the design and start making these again in compact. The only design upgrade they needed was a locking nut on the main anchor bolt that held the two halves together. Campy Ultra Torque half shafts look like they took a lot of inspiration from Sweet Wings.
