Whatever happened to your crank and bb combo you were bigmouthing about a while ago SL?


What are you refering to? My Pulsions?

Now that it is confirmed that they Clavicula has superior stiffness I have a better liking for them, gotta problem? Too bad. I still don't like the wide q factor, and I never said I was buying them, just said they were growing on me.

ROFLMAO, you don't even remember yourself. Somewhere in your 10000+ postings you jabber jawed about a crankset and bb combo? you designed that is simply amazing.

vaporware.com LOL

No offense SL, but you embarass yourself with some of your postings. You're fickle and change your mind / opinion every five postings it seems. Too funny.

Have a nice day.

Excuse me? This is not the place to be talking about this. My manufacturer fell through, and I didn't have the money after that to produce them. Thats why they were never made.

never claimed to have made one so how is that vaporware?

That's pretty much the definition of vaporware: something that is talked about and never comes into existence(whether production or not). We see this in software (and engineering) all the time.

Quite often it does occur due to legitimate reasons.

How come I never see anything posted here about the Zipp cranks? Their website says 425 grams for a complete cransket, including rings. Seems pretty light to me... too bad they're $750

Reason 1 why you don't see many posts on here about them? They're $750. My guess is that there aren't many that would pay that much for a crankset.

now that is hilarious...not paying 750 for a crankset?

but happy to pay nearly 600 for handlebars?

happy to pay well over 3000 for a set of LW wheels?

odd indeed.... :wink:

My guess is that the Zipp brand name is not exotic enough here.

I'll keep my $265 FSA Superlight Crankset and then use the ~$500 that remains to buy a 7700 BB, Easton Bar & Stem, Chris King HS. Then I'll take a big gulp out of my water bottle to make up the difference in weight.

$600 for bars? Holy crap! What bars are you refering to?

LW's....yeah.....from what I hear they're worth every penny if you can afford them/get your hands on them in good condition.
