Pics are needed for this group. Looking at the post on steel alloys is interesting. Some spindles I have show some cromoly spindles are silver, and some not. Some are hollow and some not. Then there is the plain cheap ones. Quality counts of course, but I was looking for an education on the quality, and also the mechanical and riding qualities it imparts.



Superbe—Smooth and pretty



Shimano with beautiful finish



One hollow, one not, both cromoly



Cheap generic, but looks acceptable
