I got 'em installed yesterday on my M1. Setting up them the e13 with them required some modifications, but JohnP's post on this was a big help. Actual installation after the mods was comically easy.

I don't have any ride time on them and I can't notice any big stiffness diffference yet. I am very impressed with how well thought out they are. There is a big recessed washer inbetween the steel pedal thread insert and the pedal (very nice)

I had Truvativ Hussefelts before this, which was a cost cutting measure to get my M1 rideable after the big purchase. I had many problems (well documented of course ;) ) with them and I'm happy I finally upgraded the one weak link in my ride.

worthless without pics!! ;)

How much are saint cranks going for these days?
I know, I know, pics are coming soon bro!
I installed them yesterday and then promptly got drunk and forgot to take pics, will you ever forgive me? :D

As for price, I got an unspeakable price, but for the masses they are in the $300-350 range (I think?)

Retainer? The "bolt-like" cap on the non-drive side arm?
I have an older E13 guide, appearantly the newer ones do not require mods.

Yes, you get the BB with it. The price depends on if you get triple, double w/bash or single ring.

Werd!

I have been loving Saints since I put 'em on back in december or so. So stiff and smooth. If you only get a single ring they are fairly well priced. >$300, and they all come w/BB.

Congrats Noah, huuuuuge improvement over butterfelts!

So here they are! I got some ride time in on them this weekend. So far, so good. I can feel some increased stiffness. I actually took some weight off the bike from the old set up. Its sitting at 45 pounds even with the DH tubes in it.
