I have things to do one thing. It helped propel us to travel around the world. Tension is a good thing to have.

I understand your reasoning, but are you really riding at a level to feel the 6mm difference in spindle diameter? The DA crank will be stiffer all around with Much better chain ring geometry. If you must stick with the K-Force, slap some Praxis rings on there to show that you aren't neglecting the bike in that dept.

100% in agreement with these comments (is crying for a DA 9000 crankset) except...take a minute to straighten/level the pic using simple Windows Gallery tool...

Agree on the bolts and have searched high and low for the right green and can't find them. I've actually purchased 3 sets off Ebays thinking from the pics that they were right and each time they are some dark, horrible green. Anyone know where I can find some bright "lime" green bolts? The brake pad holders are lime green and work perfectly but the company doesn't make crank bolts.

Thanks for all the comments even from those that don't like the bike! lol
Thirdgenbird is correct. It is a 1998 GT Edge Aero with 1" steerer. Ugly frame, but quirky just how I like 'em. Huge downtube, teardrop seatstays, even the seattube is oblong.
Saddle is actually a modern "turbo" style replica.
and 105 and ultegra and...ehh you get the point lol. It's a hodgepodge of parts, but it seems to get me around well enough although I understand that's not what this thread is about

lime green would look like crap....but then again you have a FSA crankset when the Hollowgram is what you need...
if these guys https://torontocycles.com/Selling/Cha...nd_Cranks.html don't have what you need, you're not going to find it...

Should I be glad no one commented on mine? Are slightly grainy cell phone shots not allowed?
