WTB Edge chassis lightweight/ billet spindles

Holtz made some nice billet aluminum ones back in the day. I see their website has been mothballed and did not get any hits from a google search. Those are the only ones I’m aware of.

There were lots of them out there at one time; trixtuf, fabcraft, fastrax, and the holz you mentioned- looking for someone holding onto a set
Hi,
I saw you're looking for a edge chassis lightweight billet spindles. @mantzra on the forum has it
I bought a wheel set from him about a week ago. You can email him hubbskeith2@gmail.com

Scammer?
Curious how many parts that were once considered trick and/or lightweight are on sleds sitting in someone's field or backyard just rotting away...
The weight savings has got to be measured in cups of gasoline. Don't fill up your tank all the way, and save the expenditure of light weight parts.
Or went to scrap yard... The most tricked out and cared-for sled could be trashed or a lawn ornament after a few years and changing hands a time or two. You see upgrade cycles that sometimes flood the market with certain chassis and age ranges. When that happens, the guys who'd know the difference usually aren't the ones buying. That tends to kill any added value in a modded sled; it's hard to get much if you have to explain why the buyer would want it. Then, being the last of the trailing arm sleds hit the EDGE sleds especially hard (and a little unfairly). I often spot aftermarket parts on EDGE sleds on Craigslist that aren't mentioned in the description.
I can't see spending much on it, but I think a lightweight EDGE build could be fun. It's one of the best chassis for old-school tinkerers, and capable enough as long as you're not getting into really steep or deep, or too much technical terrain. You just have to take your time finding the parts, or maybe luck out on somebody culling their parts collection. Some of the really cool stuff is just too rare, but if it's a common enough upgrade, if nothing else you can find it on ebay sooner or later.
