Got a brand new DuraAce 9100 crankset here with a plastic preload cap - I've just checked. You can buy alloy ones aftermarket with an allen key fitting rather than the odd Shimano splined fitting, but I'm not aware of any Shimano cranks with alloy preload caps.
BTW, the screenshots posted above look nothing like any version of LFGSS I've ever seen.
Brommers-
the screenshots are from my emails and i am also using my phone, the screen shot of the bike and specs are directly from the forum/private message.
i would have taken this but i am trying to get hold of the following now because i am after the drop down road bike.
just trying to get shimano 6700 all around

Saint and above and Dura Ace are aluminium ...

Yeah, it was my misunderstanding. I thought it was being suggested that the crank arm bolts pinch bolts were made of plastic.
It was clarified that actually they are made of cheese and everyone carried on as before.

Huh, I’ve inadvertently revealed my lack of experience with higher series Shimano.
