Go to: Google.

Type: "mythic carbon" (do not forget the ")

Check out first link: @#@!#$ it's in french. (I guess these guys manufacture them)

Check out second link: Bike porn!! :P

Thanks for making me search for you! :thumbup:

you didn't have to search for me.......I was just wondering if anyone knew of these cranks or have ever used them. I have never even heard of them.

Offcourse I search... I do not know those cranks and have nothing to do right now, so why not :wink: Next thing you know you stumble upon a beautifully built Litespeed. Off topic, I know.

I found their website through one of the links from the search but it would appear to be down for maintenance....!

But they do look kinda tasty :)
You can never have too much carbon fibre....!

This cranks are made by Natec in france. I've read reviews of them in french magazines, they are light but not super stiff, but they didn't say they where a noodle either...

Actual weight 292 g for a 2005 ISIS model (172,5 mm) here :arrow: http://seidelju.free.fr//composants_leg ... _192gr.jpg

I'll second SpaniardClimber about stiffness ... :idea:

these are from CarbonTi. we will get the first samples in after eurobike as we get ready for interbike...

sounds like tune six-pack compatible. the weight is super low, but the look is a bit odd from the picture. just have to see how they are on the road...
