<VV> RE: ebay crank

[Les]

What are you missing? About $350, customer service, and a warranty if 
you buy this one for $500 instead of a turned crank from Lon. Turning 
the crank removes the nitriding, and he doesn't say anything about 
having it re-nitrided, although the shop charge of $240 quoted is high 
enough to include it.

You could get it re-nitrided for about $150.

EBAY is a crazy place. Guess a guy could buy cranks from CU, stamp an 
ampersand on the end, and Ebay them at a $350 profit....
