I got mine a couple of days ago. I'm happy enough with them. I'm sure they could have been better though, but at what price? I agree that more prep work could/should have been done prior to chroming. As mine are for a rider I don't really have any issues with them. If Gossa can get some decent chroming done at a good price I will probably ride them as they are and, when they start to look a bit scruffy, get them rechromed then.
I wonder if the problem here has been that Profile had already set the price and were then forced to make the cranks to that budget. If they'd made the cranks first, and made them to a quality rather than price, we might have had lots of happy people. I hope this issue doesn't put companies off producing re-issue products, but there are some learning points here which other companies would do well to take heed of.
Here's some pics of mine anyway....
The mess on this arm is due to me just having wiped them with a manky cloth!
