I did, and they had several prototypes lying around. Cliff says he has been so busy that he hasn't had time to work on them. I understand a lot of a negativity here about the design of them, and agree that they could be better looking. I'm sure they will perform well, and the design has been fully tested virtually and IRL to maximise stiffness and reduce any potential stress areas. So, from an engineering POV, they have been well thought out, but if it was me, I'd have a rethink and design in some prettiness.
The thing is, CNC means that you can produce things in very small numbers, so even if Royce don't sell too many of them, it wont be a huge loss to them.
I got a picture of one of the prototype crank sets.
