Do you have the link to just the arms?
The vendors I found earlier were listing their Omniums as new.. Can't recall which website. Found a site this morning, that says the crank itself is 825g, and the bb is 106g:

If that is the case, Omniums are not an upgrade for me in terms of weight. Currently using Sugino VP130s (converted double road crank with a single chainring and shorter chainring bolts). That weighs in at 705g, and if I remember, the Tange BB i'm using is pretty heavy. If I do change the crank, I would like it to be lower weight.. Not sure if I would honestly notice any difference in stiffness, though I do feel some difference between the Shimano 105 5700 crankset (external BB system) and the VP130s.. I feel like the 105 crank transmits better.. Maybe that translates to more stiffness.. or just placebo effect lol.
