Colony 2.5 Crankset

In september 2007 we got the news that colony is about to build a lite crank. The 2-piece idea has now changed to a 2,5 pieced version with 19mm axle 48 toothed. The reason for this is simple: crank and axle cannot be heat-treated together; people who see the pictures of broken khe hindenburg 2pc know why. There is no hint if the weight of 755g is actually, but the crankset will apear in august 2008.
The streetversion has 2 length 170 and 175mm, there is also a flatland version with microgear only and 160mm length. It is availible in black, white and limited in grey and tangerine.
