That one was sold on ebay for around $600.  It was a 2nd run peak with the sharper side radius. 

I did ship around 30 3rd Gen Peaks out.  They mostly made it overseas though.

I just noticed today in the yyn store that the specs for the bearing-gull edition ande the chesterman are not the same. Are they diferent editions? I have both of them and a hulk smash(same specs that the chesterman) and the only diference is that the most smooth of the three is the bearing-gull. Can some one tell me if it's only for the ano or if they have more differences?

...

Chris is able to tell a 1st run from a 2nd run Peak by sight.  I'm still working on this.  I really need to post comparison pictures as I have both 1st run and 2nd run Peaks.  You can put a 1st run and 2nd run Peak side by side and if you look very closely you'll notice that the 1st run Peak has a subtle curve around the edge of the lip whereas the 2nd run Peak has a sharper, nearly 90 degree angle, around the edge of the lip.

...



Finally got off my butt and followed through with this: http://www.yoyonation.com/talk/index.php/topic,73907.0.html

Hi Ben!

Thx for sharing this info. After sreading it, I'm sure that the Bearing-gull is different from my other peaks.The 3 of them have the tool change machining line inside the hub. But the Bearing-gull outer edge/lip of the rim is less rounded/more sharper than the hulk or the chesterman. I'm sure they introduced some changes in the machining of the peak in some point between the chester/hulk ones and the bearing-gull. Maybe chris can throw some info about.

Maybe thanks to this, the bearing-gull is so smooth.  Afro
