New 4340 forged cranks are at least 60 days out.

I just checked up on the rumored chrome moly 4340 forged steel FE crank and the first batch looks to be at least 60 days out due to some backlogs of other projects.

It's reasonable to believe there won't be any available for several months, but we can hope for maybe a three month delay. The project is active, and the strokes look to possibly be from 3.984" to 4.375". Crudely approximated pricing is in the $1400.00 to $1600.00 arena.

I forgot to ask whether I can use the company name with any of this preliminary info (they may incorrectly believe I work for Genesis, and may only be talking to me for this reason). I'll call back in a month and will see about reporting more. If anyone else knows more, please feel free to post.

Shoe.
