Reader's Caramba!

Emailed to me by FakawiTribe.com reader: Dan Heinen. This is what he wrote when I asked him how he got hold of the cranks:

"Ongawi, I was in the market looking for a new crankset, like XTR or something nice. Thought I'd try eBay and there they were. After I saw them all my other thoughts of XTR, Race Face, FSA etc... were gone. Waited till the ending of the auction put in my max bid and won. I couldn't believe it! I'm sure I paid top dollar but I don't care, I have something special. The person I got them from has a few NOS items on ebay he's letting go. Must be from a closing shop or something because most of it are show pieces."

Thanks, Dan. This sure is a beautiful set of Carambas!
