what's the benefit of going with a smaller wrist pin?

any new progress on the build?

Less weight.

Once again waiting for the spendable cash to move forward with the project.

Expensive I bet $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

600USD for the machining, pluss 175USD shipping and handling, 400USD for the overhauled crank used.

Regarding the crank I bought to use as a core for the machining, NEVER EVER do business with a US company called "RPM Machine" Used 6 weeks expediting the order, not once contacted me about problems and delays, I had to call them and find out they had fucked upp. I'm sure I used 100USD in phonecharges to get them to actualy do what I had paid them to do. Get a crank from storage, put in a box, shipp it to FFWD Connection.

FFWD Connection on the other hand have been a pleassure to deal with, good communication. And fast, one week from reciving the crank to sending the pics of the butchered one. If shipping is as expedient, I'll be well pleased with the service.
