Glws! I found myself a similar crankset in 167.5mm from some guy in Germany, although mine is well used and scratched.
Sure one could put "shimano" stickers on any cranks but by doing that you are only cheating yourself. It's basic human behaviour to want something rare as opposed to something off the shelf, even if there is no actual difference. :)
If anyone knows how these are/were distributed, I'd love to know. I didn't spot any cranks with shimano decals in the last track world championships, but then again most pros are now using some cranks with power metering.
