Which circles back to original post. Having disassembled my Silver crank I have a new appreciation for it. It’s quite beautifully manufactured and now lighter thanks to the aluminum chainring. White Industries square taper crank in comparison is also beautiful & MUSA. But, complete with chainrings weighs 624 grams & cost $521.00. Silver crank complete with chainguard weighs 781 grams & cost $280.00. So for your extra $241.00 you save 157 grams or .346 lb. At the end of the day (kind of hate that phrase, not sure why?) as Riv owners our frames are heavy especially in my case (Clem & Gus) as are our wheels particularly if you are running larger tires & dynamo hubs. That leaves the remainder of the components where any marginal gains are expensive.
