No, I don't know that, but here http://www.rouesartisanales.com/article-2267186.html it looks like the whole team are on alu cranks, so perhaps it was just too early. Later versions have carbon (so aren't as good!)

I seem to recall hearing something along those lines but I’m not familiar with the technicalities of the paint job. When I worked at steel vintage, we sent some frames back to gios to get them repainted in the original colour since other painters didn’t quite get it right.
@fredtc do you know if there’s a particular reason why boonen opted for aluminium cranks instead of the carbon ones?
