Are those chunks missing from the non drive side crank arm? I just don't understand carbon cranks

True that

Carbon cranks would freak me out mentally, I’d be checking them all the time, bad negative distraction I could never entertain

How great would that look with about 6” of seat tube missing as well as that brace...?

so subtle it's almost black.

What's with the dumb kink in the seat tube? Why do people do that?

I think ti is best when it's done with a matte finish. Makes it look double primo.

As for carbon cranks: never. They don't solve any problems for me and I've seen break under mediocre riders. Like, just pedals just falling out. They don't even look better.

Cheap & cheerful and your pedal won't fall out.
