Here's a classic we might want to forget--the BioCam Crank!

http://ebay.com/<blah>

If I were interested in this, I would ask the seller if it comes with the special tool required to set the cam and right cup. It is a piece of square-section steel rod, with flats at 14 mm. on edge. Length about 1".

I was lucky to get a used one of these rare birds at the recent Westminster show, from a gent who had used them for HPV record attempts. Hope to build it up for a commuter bike, but expect i won't like it much. Looking at it, it seems to be a complex and heavy way to duplicate a BioPace, if that were desireable.

your mileage may vary.
