Bought them about two weeks ago from Outspoken cycles.
Price is 55 for 144BCD cranks and a chainring. There are 46 or 48 to choose from.
Got also the Tange 110.5 BB.
I must say, for the price, those are a damn good cranks. The finish on the outer sided is quite nice on the silver ones, certainly not Super Record but probably not miles off.
From the inside it is another story, look very cheap with some remains of the casting process.
The cranks are much stiffer than my previous Fuji Track Stock FSA vero's. They alos look way more sturdy which they probably are. The difference in amount of flex during hill climbing is really big comparing to Veros.
With the aforementioned Tange BB they give a great chainline of 42 mm and make for a silent drivetrain with my Formula hub and Surly cog, something I could not say about FSA Vero's.
Overall, this is a damn good set of cranks for the price and anyone considering Sugino RD2 and their chainline problems should stop right there and get the Andels, unless you must have 130 BCD for those tiny chainrings.
The only gripe is that the silver ones look shit on my Fuji, but the black with 46t was out of stock:(
