I will have pics of the changes to the design and the have the changes to the specs by Friday. I said it would be approximately six weeks before we begin shipping. We are very close but there have been some very nice advances... the new design took an interesting turn.. pics on Friday.
Any idea of an actual date? Perhaps updated ballpark figure?

if your just moving/changing the q by moving the left hand crank then the pedals are not going to be equal distance from the center line of the bike?

Hi guys.. I will have pics by the end of the day but I can report that we are testing at 390 grams. With the pics that follow, I will explain the change to the design.
Thanks,
Ted

Judging by the design of the part "next to the spindle" you might be absolutely right.
My first impression was it can't be right. But you can clearly see the grooves waiting to be filled by something out.
Have to say very impressive design and I started liking this crank as well.
I'm not the follower of it's development. Is it going to be with 30mm spindle, by any chance?

Yes, it was originally spec'd for a 30mm (BB30) spindle. From looking at the internal arm construction and the pedal shaft support piece, I really like what I see. Should be very stiff and lightweight. Looking forward to seeing the end result and specs.

Nope.
Guys the new crank is not a slight update to the old one. It's a full rework. The tubes you see now were not a part of the first design.

Wow, radically new redesign isn't an understatement... But both look awesome to me! The preorder pricing was very tempting, but I wonder if some people will now be turned of by the aesthetics...

Forget about aesthetics. I am a bit thrown off by the 14 inter-material joints on just the two crank arms alone. I assume the little carbon tubes are glued together? What about glue durability?
Can't wait to see how it finally turns out.
