Default Re: burlington crank

Thank you regarding Bill's comments. I formerly sat on the Board of Directors of a national club with him where we would discuss stuff like this. If Bill could not make a go of making cranks, I'm not sure anyone else would be any better off. I definitely don't think I should suggest that to the new Burlington owners. If they lost a pile of money like others before them have, I sure wouldn't want that on my conscience.

I am not sure that Bill got taken down by the Chinese, ...and yes I think he is probably a tad bitter over losing that much money in this venture. I do not have any reason to doubt Bill's analysis of the SCAT crank however, like I elluded to about, it evidently doesn't need to be perfect when good will be good enough! If we were to place the two Model-A cranks side-by-side for comparison, what would you say is the difference that makes one better over the other? In other words, let's here some feedback of what you would want checked (compared) on both crankshafts.
