I would assume there has to be some difference, since VO themselves said that "if" they were to bring in the Mighty Tour, they would sell it for $375. Since they already sell the Alpina double at $170, that's more than double the price. It looks like the Mighty Tour has denser material (lower Q, visibly thinner, yet higher weight) so that material must be a lot more costly to buy and manufacture from. Can you feel the difference? I wish I knew. They are both great looking cranks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
