If you're at all interested in these you probably don't need to read the following but here's a bit of a history behind them.
They were a decade ahead of their time. Using external bearings they were well before shimano brought it to the market in 2003. The crankarms are hollow, two canoe-like pieces bonded together alot like Crank Brothers new Cobalt crankset - once again more than 10 years late. They were the best crankset then and are still close to it. They came to Australia in the early 90's on a Team Cannondale bike for the World Champs. Pure CNC art that really works and is nice and light. The stiffness of external bearings but a low q-factor and a good chainline. Show me any other crankset with those features.
