That crank you're describing is their S900/950/975 or derivative. It is not a "pure" bb30, it is bb30 compatible with its 30mm spindle. Those cranks mentioned have about 90mm of spindle between the arms, as opposed to 69-70mm. Sram red, New red, force (with built-in, non-removable spiders) will not fit bbright.

Look closer. That "red" crank is the quarq variant, with separate spider. Arms may be updated, but otherwise, that crank is a direct descendant of the S900 series. Completely different animal.

+1...unless you are willing to spend over $2K for the Quark variant (the only Sram 2012/13 BB30 crank compatible with BBRight), you will not have a Red crank on your R5

I find it interesting that the R5 VWD frames made in 2011 were approximately 50 grams lighter than R5 VWD frames made in 2012. I am not sure exactly when they gained weight but they gained a noticeable amount of weight. My guess is that it happened sometime in the later part of 2011. I think the same thing happened with the R3. The R5 VWD frames are still fantastic frames and are still a competitive weight considering the competition. But they don't make them like they use to.

Vwd frames, like any other, vary in weight. I seem to remember a recent 51cm one weigh 705g, and an r5ca at the same time be either 660 or 640, can't remember exactly.
I guess I have some weighing, photographing to do in the next couple days...
