I've been wondering how Specialites T.A. manages to survive. Just about no OEM market and who else buys a T.A. crank these days, save for Rivendell members and folks like me who seek the stuff out. I asked Peter White who was buying T.A. and he seemed surprised at my question-apparently he sells enough. The awareness of the existance of T.A. Zephyr and Alize cranks (let alone continuing production of the Pro 5 vis.) in the "real" world seems to be zero, or close to it. Much the same could be said for Stronglight. I'm glad they're around, but I wonder how!
Best regards,
