Tim-- Thanks; both crank and AR are beautiful. I did notice the non-canonical bes height.
If I were on my computer I'd post a photo of a lightweight, hollow-arm steel crank featured on Classic Ligjtweights UK. Apparently as light as modern lightweight cranks and absolutely beautiful. I think the best steel cranks are the most beautiful ever made. All Rounder: my first road custom was built around that same model with a few geometry tweaks--a good design.
