Same price or cheaper than Ksyriums, more aero, and about 200g lighter.
How much would that cost a sucker like me (not that I don't luv my 540's)?

I aint forgetting nothin. According giant (it must all be true cause they say so) I have a Raceface Evolve XC X-type cranks with integrated, outboard bottom bracket which has the advantage of Rigidity/power improved (due to larger bearings, wider spaced bearings, larger diameter axles). So it must be the crappy frame.
