Old School BMX Parts

A former Superbyke investor formed a new company called Tuf-Neck, Inc. that made arrangements with Bakton to purchase, market, and distribute Tuf-Neck stems. To stop confusion, Tuf-Neck, Inc. changed it's name to Pro-Neck, Inc and marketed the original Tuf-Neck stem as the T-N.

This stem had the same square corner aluminium block and a hollow bolt secures the block and shaft together as one. This came with a T-N sticker on the block.
