Cost

Some pople found my cranks cheap while other people found them expensive. So let me say a couple of words to explain pricing:

1. Making the cranks prototype was extremely expensive for me. Whatever price I ask, I'm still selling them at a loss.
2. I know about a couple of companies that do similar things in small quantities and the price for a custom made 4-cranks set for the RG would be 7200 euro or more. I do NOT mean to ask 7200 euro for my cranks, I just want you to realize what's the value of a custom made set.
3. The retail price of one crank of the single cylinder engine my work is derived from, is something about 650 euro plus tax (4 of these would be about 2600 + tax).
4. My cranks are more expensive than the cranks they are derived from, because the RG has a peculiarity, that is the big end pin one piece with the crank flywheel which makes tooling and machining much more difficult (expensive) than a normal crank and also, I am not making it in big quantities.

More precisely, there are currently 13 persons in the waiting list; next one will be #14 and the price reserved to him will be:

The above pricing is for a set of 4 cranks, complete with rods, bearings, seals and spacers, assembled and centered. No gears. You will use your gears (or, start looking on ebay for broken crank sets with good gears).

Pre-ordering (no money needed)

If you are interested in purchasing the cranks write me privately and tell me the options you want (for options, see below).

I'll notify you with your position in the queue and the price reserved to you. I will respect your privacy and won't tell others that you are in the queue. If you change your mind you can cancel at any moment, I'll delete you from the queue while following people will shift up and get a better price.

When it'll be time to start the batch production, THEN I'll ask you to advance me half money so I can run the batch. You still will be able to cancel from the queue and the others will shift up in your place.

After the batch is started you can't cancel from the queue anymore but in case I am not able to deliver the stuff within six months I'll refund you completely if you so desire (see "Conditions" below).

Options

NOTE: the following option list is obsolete.

• 54.4 mm stroke w. 113 mm rods....... base configuration
• alternative 106.5 or 110 mm rods ... suspended
• 50.6 mm stroke w. 100 mm rods....... same price, for now
• different rods ..................... suspended
• special bearings ................... discontinued

You could also just get the crank webs with no rods and assemble yourself, or just the bearings, or just whatever: no problems, but this case you'll pay "whatever" spare parts at full price, the special offer only applies to complete kits.

Replacement parts

Yes, spares will be available. Differently than other kits that has been floating around, in case you break something replacement parts will be available for every component up to any single nut or washer. No need to buy another complete set if you just need one part.
Replacement parts will be available for years. Remember my kit is based on existing commercial parts that are currently in production and available in shops all over the world. As to the specific parts that were made by me, I commit myself to continue manufacturing them as long as I will be able to do it.
And even in case I die, They have all my drawings so if you ask Them kindly enough, and you are available to pay enogh, they may help you. But please don't bother Them before I die.

Warranty

I mean to replace the parts in case they break and the fault is obviously mine (do not charge me with your mistakes in case you run witn no oil etc. etc. etc.)
