The carbon cranks are a good complement to the cosmic wheels.I will also buy pedals later but those will be the look PP296 in NOS in yellow color.The cranks were very attractively priced, couldn't let it pass

So I mounted the Dura Ace FD 7800 front derailleur and the Dura Ace BR 7800, did also some touches with white nail polish where there were some scratches or some paint pealing off (for the note, I did it on my jamis, raleigh and my merida mountain bike where the scratches were recovered with nail polish). The headset will be changed for sure it seems to have somewhat suffered and willl be replaced by a stronglight jdx 94
