Could look good with a similar aero crankset destickered? Like a vision? Or rotor?

I was considering this option but i have no clue who does it for individual parts and at what cost
Skant sent me a reference company but that led nowhere unfortunately

rotor aldhu carbon would be my choice, nice bit of modern kit put against the rest of the bike.

Hey
I just learned that only the second generation of 496 frames use pressfit bottom brackets
(Mine has a threaded BB)
Hence: ZED is not possible on my frame
Bank account says ~thanks~

Shame! But it still looks so good anyway, I’m not sure you’re losing out at all!

Guilty!
Frankly, its just adaptors and I forgot to remove them before taking pics ☠️

Okay guys
Again much appreciate your feedback on the look
Now.. when I said to myself „no new projects“, we all know that what I was trying to say was „no new project until I find a new project“ right? Right????
Ok here‘s the story:
Last year, when my son was 3 1/2 i found out that he likes pump tracks so I went and assisted him a bit.

Now hes almost 4 1/2 and he still likes to ride pump tracks
So, with his new 18“ bike (instead of 12“ above), I assisted him again which was fun of course
Bit then I began thinking why I just stand there and watch him?
I decided to join him but of course, spending a couple hundred EUR for a dirtbike is not my style
So i decided to buy a way-too-small 90s MTB and build my own DIY dirtbike
I call it diYrtbike 😈
First, a was into a TREK then a MARIN then - guess what - a CAAD
(Sellers great pic)
To be honest, this one has seen better days but:
- it was correctly advertised as being „very light“
- it was around the corner
- Its a BEASTOFTHEEAST
- it has a wishbone
- It has my favorite fork of all time (P-Bone)
- Saeco colors
- Super small
- And because

the silver crankset looks really out of place. a carbon would finish this off nicely
