I definitely want a set, maybe 2.....business is booming ;) btw...what kind of weight reduction are we looking at here?.....are we gonna be able drop about 25g-30g or so? I'm sure it's not as much as the kcnc swap...or is it?

I am using the Masterpiece with original cradle and bolts with New Ultimate upper-support/wings (which are almost identical to the KCNC ones).
No problem during the last 20 months on a Toupe with ti-rails.

I am also interested one set to my Masterpiece. Allready using Ti bolts so this uppgrade should be very nice also.
Hope that price is lower than that 130$ for set wich is IMO also way too much :P

Nothing new and even I don't know anything else so we all must be patient I guess.

Thought that I would post some pictures in this thread. Keep in mind that I had these made a little stronger than normal since I am not a flyweight by any means and right at the weight limit for the parts.

NEW PARTS - No ti hardware yet. Pretty sure that the Ti hardward is about 12g-13g which would be nice.

OLD PARTS - Stock.

Great!

My retrofitted KCNC M5 hardware is 26.2 grams. I'm not so pleased using that with a Becker saddle, though. It's been okay so far, but I wouldn't want to crash it.

The claimed weight for the two carbon bits is 22-25 grams. The price is "140 z". Is that Euro?

added: It's 140 złoty, around 38 euro.

The competition, who was first to market, claims 19 grams.
