[RBW] Re: Silver2 cranks!
That's cool about your serial number. If there was ever a question, you for sure can never sell now. Crank is VERY attractive, too. I like arms with the fattened ends where the pedal spindle attaches, but it does make it harder to use a single mold for multiple arm lengths.
