So Q-man, are you going to be making these ?

I'm looking at some cranks and finding it difficulty to get 175mm and compact setup in the one package.

Thanks

Nope. I'm working on a complete crankset. If all goes well I'll start making the prototype by the end of the month. If I can't get it going by then, it will likely need to wait for a while because I have other work commitments.

I'm designing a complete crankset. It's aluminum with a new method to get hollow arms. The projected weight is very competitive. My first one will be BB30, but I could subsequently modify the design to work with other standards. The design is mostly complete but I'll need to find the time to machine it.
I'll post some photos when I make some significant progress...

Sounds good. Love to keep hearing about it.

Happy to be a test mule too :thumbup: Looking at doing a 2 week Alps/Dolomites riding trip coinciding with last two weeks of the TdF 2016, including Stelvio, Mortirolo, Galibier, Selle Ronda, Giau, Gavia to name a few :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Keep me updated re the spider. I have the arms now, so just need the missing bit :beerchug:
