I always wanted a pair of these
 

but not at this price:

Agreed and agreed. Yowza.

I'd rather pay $1400 for a crankset than $2400 for a jersey and corkscrew (same seller)--not that there's a chance I will do either.

Ummm ... not to get too weenie ... but I know an alternative design to save a few grams. :innocent:

What, you don't want to hold out for the triple-bend crank arm?

I would like to see the five angle version where the rings bolt directly to the arm at each bend.

I saw this listing and can't figure out what is the reasoning behind this contraption. What are they trying to accomplish with these? Are they designed to flex in some direction? How would they increase efficiency?

The same seller lists this commemorative jersey and corkscrew for $2400.

I suppose I could always use a jersey, but what would I do with the corkscrew? Wine comes in boxes now.

Hey, at least then it would kind of make sense!

I think its just one of those ideas that periodically pops up as an "improvement", like chainrings that aren't round.

And I always wanted a pair of these, but we don't always get what we want.

well... to be completely accurate that's TWO pair. :)

...ummm wait what were we talking about? They've got some pretty shoes too.

Glad you have your priorities straight!

No offense but you can probably get a doctor to give you a pair of those!

Prolly wouldn't look the same on lostarchitect! :roflmao2:

But they might cost more than $2400...

Yeah something tells me all the chest hair would ruin the effect.

They'd get in the way of your parallel bar. (Assuming those are still used in your office. Right now mine is preventing redlines from sliding off my drawing board)

Hey, the 2 lovely girls dont have any bicycles- no interest.

the cranks, I have seen them on the net before....what is it?
where there really people stupid enough to believe in the idea?

I just dont get it!

now here you have a good set with their prioritys straight!
(but wait! they are fake! 2 handbrakes??)

Right, what's the point? The point at which the pedal mounwill and where your foot will be) will be equally distant from the spindle at all times during normal rotation of the cranks, right? So what's the point?

Flex? Why would anyone want their cranks to flex under load?

Holy smokes Batman! :)

I figured it was just for looks! Shows what I know. I do think the arc- shaped type cranks are very pretty.

Speak for yourself!
