Peter,
Unless they are different arms than what I originally
purchased and returned, they did not match perfectly.
I was looking for perfectly matched Chater Lea arms,
and felt that these were not. The crankset may be
acceptable for someone else, but not me. Again, just
wanted to let everyone know my experience with this
seller.
Thanks!
