Besides the obviously multi-bowl-weed-drillium jobs on really nice cranks that completely destroy them structurally.....

I especially liked the campy rd he has for sale, with "Low Usage" in the title.......and the pulley wheels are really worn.....I mean REALLY worn....not to mention all the nicks, scrapes, and dings on the rd itself........yea, low usage alrighty......lol.......

Those pulleys aren't worn they're lightened "for a person to need to reduce weight and to be FAST!"

He's so damned far off he could have indeed drilled then countersunk. This isn't just awful, it's surreal.

Don't know if anyone mentioned the blithering treatise he put in the original ad today or not:

This crankset is not for the older man who is trying to recreate something ORIGINAL that he always wanted and say "i finally got it after 4 decades!". this is for the person who is actually riding and getting a good deal on a very good crankset."DONT BE AFRAID TO STEP OUT OF THE BOX!" If you fall down and break your hip it just means your rode to the very end of your life! That is called passion!! and you have Obama care! THE WEIGHT IS VERY CLOSE TO SUPER RECORD 11. I KNOW MANY BABY BOOMERS MAY NOT HAVE NOT HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO OWN SUPER RECORD 11. BUT THE WEIGHT IS VERY CLOSE. AT ONLY 10% OF THE COST! THIS IS A DEAL! YOUR WHITE HAIRED WIFE WON'T GET ON YOU FOR SPENDING TOO MUCH! EVERYONE IS HAPPY! ask her for permission to bid. it's only starting at $49 and no reserve!

Should be more like If you fall down and break your hip, I'm liable cuz your super light drilled crankset just snapped on you and dumped your ass on the pavement

Gee, I see he sold an undrilled SR crankset awhile back (last month) for double that. Duh.

At least that other one above, while not good, is not as hideous as the OP model. Still wouldn't ride it, but not as bad-alignment wise on the drilling. Til you get to the back.

just for sh*ts and giggles, what do you guys believe he really shaved off in weight on the first crank where he drilled the rings and crank arms to crap.

10, 20, 20 grams?

A for effort but the lines and whatnot on his/her drillium are really sloppy, but the crazy part is people are still buying it, it shows you how many people out there have bad taste.

Maybe the buyers are using it for some sort of "What not to do when you drillium" sort of class exhibit?

I think you're giving stoners a bad name, I doubt even they want to be associated with a freehand crossdressing drillium nazi that's sloppy...

To his credit, he takes good pictures so everyone can see how bad things are.

I feel like sending him a box full of crappy cranks to "practice" on. Maybe I'll include a hunk-o-C4 in the box.

This drilldo just made me cry harder than discovering the hooker was infected. And, no, us cannabis afficionados wish not to be associated with this 'artiste'. I could do a better job blazed beyond effective motor control with dull bits, a blindfold and an old hand-crank drill. The scariest part, second to his having customers, is his pride in the 'workmanship'. 'I created a masterpiece.' Sure you did. A master piece of caca.

Correction, Michael J Fox could do a better job than this. With Muhammad Ali steadying his hand for him. And who gave him a 98% approval rating?!
