I like the idea, but those cranks seem a bit plain and boring to me. At least when compared to the original Herse cranks. The questions I would have for Sugino are how much do those rings flex under hard pedaling? Also is support of the chainring replacement being taken into consideration? I'd really hate to buy some $300 real Herse rings to replace the $50 Sugino rings. If someone see's them at Interbike get some pics if you could.
