Morati ti crank arms

Put Titanium in perspective - an ageing crank

I admit to being a sad bike pimp and having blown too much hard-earned on shiny alloy things [especially pedals: "who are you - Immelda Marcos??"]

But ti cranks are annoying: they look shad; they've got to be flexxy and the difference in weight is probably less than whether your shoes are wet, or what you'd save with a pair of latex tubes [given the radius of a wheel as opposed to a crank, the importance of wheel weight must be multipied many fold.]

Rolling weight is important, but hundreds of quid on an ageing crank must be viewed as gluttony - or annorexia.

you forgot to mention that these cranks in particular are prone to breaking ;)

Never heard of them, but they look cool
 
sweetwings were fair from great as well... kinda ironic that the funk frame hes selling is making less than either of the cranks.
