Saint 2009 cranks! They have the same weight, but saint are stronger and stiffer that Atlas FR cranks. Atlas FR are there in different colours, but saint is good looking too in 2009 with gold parts!

Shimanos BB shells are better and they have the better crank arm connection. race face didn't want to pay any royalties to shimano for the design so they came up with a totally problematic design and they know it but continue with it. plus the new saint is light and strong.. all +'s no -'s . race face still has negative's. so other than color why would anyone choose them? Maybe their Canadian and they want to support their countrymen......that would be the only arguement I could see.

We didn't ask you to show us why you're in idiot... The FR Atlast, are lighter than the new saints. Also, about the problems with RF's warranty, i'd like proof of that... I'm pretty its all bullshit.

Raceface uses the same spindle size as Shimano so you can use a Shimano, Hope or ChrisKing BB shell on a Raceface crank.

1, Made in Canada.
2, No pressed on spider.
3, No pinch bolts!
4, CNC machined.
5, Comes in cool colors.
6, Great warranty.
7, Isn't Shimano.
