This item code still seems to be the "light" version?
00.3018.291.170 (or ends with 172 / 175 depending on crankarm length)
From europe webshops, the lighter one is : 00.3018.266.XXX
This is correct. Here is a second set I got last week in the US.

Thanks for the heads up, I just ordered one from them.

Fingers crossed they actually do still have the V1, and I won't be getting an email saying "sorry, but..."
Or it won't be the V2 cranks sitting there when I open the box.

CC was one of the places that I asked today, and my "gearhead" couldn't tell me which verison they actually have on hand.

I just got my Summit credit that I could have cashed in, too...shame.

This is why you should have had me as your personal gearhead, too late now ☹️

Now that I know that you work there, I may just treat you as my personal gearhead :D

Got a pair of 165s from CC. Both are 339g with the rubber cover on the splines, the zip-lock bag and plastic sleeves still attached.

Oh and healthy amount of blue grease on the spindles.

Are you guys going with the DFour or DZero with these arms? Does the DFour look good with Ultegra rings? Or does it look better to go with the 5 bolt and some simple black rings. I'm basing this decision solely on asthetics. Google searches make me think the 5 bolt is a bit more attractive but there aren't many good shots of the 4 bolt.

I went with the DZero to repurpose my 5 bolt Carbon Ti rings from an S-Works crank. I considered the DFour-I think the Quarq site said they work with Ultegra and 105 rings, but were designed to look best with Dura Ace rings. The DA rings seemed a lot more expensive than 5 bolt rings like Praxis. I do have the prior model DFour with the 9000 DA rings and think it looks good.
