Keith made a comment about Bontrager ROAD Cranks. I assume it is a correct statement. Patrick, Is Keith's comment germane to the crankset you are selling? Is your crankset a ROAD crankset? Or, is your for sale crankset a MOUNTAIN crankset? Or more directly, who is getting confused?

Interesting comparo on BLUG on the JA. Two questions: 1. How does the JA fit/feel/ride with drop bars? 2. This question addressed to those who have ridden both: how do they differ in fit/feel/ride? Sheesh! Now I want a Roadeo/Roadini *and *an Atlantis-surrogate! And can't afford either, alas.
