I couldnt get them off the Fuji Opus III I bought that had them on it. The unfortunate part is once you get the cam indexed you have to drill into the BB shell and pin it. God forbid you ever want to go back to a standard cranks set. My Opus is a mess from that thing. You want it to play with it you can have it. :(Ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-69720014727121121692012-08-10T08:42:00.721-04:002012-08-10T08:42:00.721-04:00Ditto Rolly, on the concept and craft

I actually found one similar to this at Walmart, Bell made but just as quick as it was there and relatively inexpensive, they took if off the market. But I did get one. sort of for show and not eloquent with straps but I painted it black with shoe polish myself. If VO does not carry those barrel shaped bags, it could be considered.

Please do not put anything like that in the Velo ORANGE catalog, which is classy to the last detail.<br /><br />On the crank, it's a "Power Cam," apparently from the same company that made the frame, Houdaille.
