Anyone know if these were ever actually released?

I'm sure they were, to some extent at least, I heard stories of them coming apart ๐Ÿ˜€

Odd how so few seem to be able to make exotic cranks that don't have issues.

They do look good.
Polishing up a set of cranks just now ,and I have decided to machine (not too deep ๐Ÿ˜‰ )some patterns on the outsides while I am at it.
BTW ...Does anyone else think it's slightly annoying ,that chainrings can be so expensive relative to a complete chainset? ( or is it just me ๐Ÿ™‚ )

God yes. Middleburns seem to be the best/easiest to actually get option.

As Al says, they came apart. The crank ARM was made in two pieces and they were bonded together. I think they were all recalled?

Typical Crank Brothers. All the goodness is in the look not the quality.

I don't think that model was ever released.

My ISIS set twisted and there was something tinkling around inside.

Shame because they were light and the stainless steel meant no scuff.

Got a replacement set, but haven't used them.

Use Middleburn for everything now.

But I do like the CB ISIS BB. That's reliable.
