'sall right. I've known a few people who have gotten 'bent and then gone back. Still friends, no big deal.
Those XTR 110/74 BCD cranks are the original M900 series- seriously good stuff. If I didn't have a bug in my ear about keeping a "road-ish" outer bolt circle (130 or 135mm diameter), they'd be on my short list.
