soma hellyer cranks

I've seen a lot of people talk about how they look and their price, but who has used them?

I'm looking for a crank under $200 that is available in 170mm arms. I want make sure to not have the problem of the crank arms not fitting with the chain ring properly, which is a problem with my current setup. How do these cranks fair?

They are basically re-branded/stripped and polished Andel cranks. If you want them in black and are looking to save a little money, look no further: https://www.benscycle.net/index.php?m...oducts_id=1532

Not 170mm though, you might have to look around.

I have them and they are GREAT!

As fa as I know, they only come in 165mm. Or 2 distributors I deal with only carry 165mm.

they come in 170mm on the soma site as well as thebikebiz.com

The andels won't work cause of the lack of 170mm arms. Also I'm definitely looking for silver.

Ok, but does SOMA have them availabe? A lot of their stuff "exists" but can never be bought for a while.

I have some Turvativ Turo Polished silver cranks in 170mm that I don't need! The square tapered are in VERY goo condition and the Powerspline model with BB is anew take-off.

PM me.
