Yes, and given that I have a shimano equiped bike I'm a little tempted.
If I buy (given lack of money not too much chance but you never know) I'll post weight and opinion.

Carbon Lords full carbon cranks look quite different. These look just like FSA to me.

Im quite sure that this crank are one of GIGANTEX product.
Its not that"campy" version on carbon lords's web site.
But its another "full carbon" with octalink compatible.
Buy it, If you like it.
Your money.
Your decission.

Joel-I never said there was anything wrong with them. I just feel(and this is strictly my own personal opinion) that carbon fiber in certain applications does not make much sense. For example, if the new D-Ace cranks are lighter and stiffer than any other carbon crank out there, then what exactly is the point to carbon cranks besides looks? And they are also more expensive. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I'm simply throwing this question out there.
Something like a carbon fiber saddle or brakeset, where there is signifigant weight savings makes more sense to me. Just as long as the products that are being manufactured in carbon do the job just as well as the components they are replacing. I guess that's my argument, but this is the weightweenies forum. We are here because we dig lightweight components.
