RS2 (and indeed all RS cranks) have the spider positioned so that all five chainring bolts can be seen. Here, one is hidden behind the crank arm like Topline and some Cooks.

My guess is a development proto of the RS2 (hence also the lack of 'Middleburn' engraving)

I had wondered about that. How does the spider attached to the crank arm? Is it possible to attach it in a different way to get this effect?
They haven't arrived yet so I can't tell.

I hope that's the good kind of proto rather than the 'I'm going to snap and kill you' type.

Corduroyboy" The lack of 'Middleburn' engraving (and some CNC work) would then suggest an unfinished pair as they moved onto the RS3[/quote said:

That's a great buy, fella. Not worth too much today, but being made-in-england and interesting they should be very desirable one day, no doubt.

Just realised that the spider would look like that if it was rotated 180 degrees!

So that's that solved! The lack of 'Middleburn' engraving (and some CNC work) would then suggest an unfinished pair as they moved onto the RS3
