these are bonkers! just proves yet again that what is new, isn't - although these aren't so much adjustable length as "length all over the place all the time"
I wonder what they feel like to ride?

Ofmega are a mysterious but fascinating company to me - they made loads of forgettable Campagnolo clone products, but then came out with some beautifully designed and finished components that still stand out from the crowd.

The plastic Mistral RD definitely tends toward the 'weird,' but the crankset has to be classed as 'wonderful' in my eyes.

I have a crank and most of a Premier group I am looking forward to showing off on the right frame one day.

Im in the process of building a bike with components that I just find beautiful. Tge mistral crankset is defo on the list.
