Ritchey Compact Mixup?

[Geoff]

I just recieved a WCS Compact crank from AEbike, However it does not look like the others that I have seen. The WCS I have seen has black arms with polished silver tips on the crank arms with a black big chain ring. Ritchey also makes a Pro version that has a completely black arm with a silver big chain ring.

Now the one I recieved has a completely black arm with the balck chain ring. It looks like its the Pro with the WCS chain ring. I would say that it was a switch, but the arms both have WCS painted on them.

Has anyone else seen a WCS that fits the description? AEbike says it is correct, but there web site has the picture that shows the balck and silver arms.

Any insight would be appreciated.

and aebike does not post a disclaimer re: it might not look like the picture on the website, then I'd request a refund. i have done lots of business with them over the years, but try to be really careful due to the restocking fee for returns.

the wcs I bought from them quite some time ago does look the one in the picture on the site -- silver tipped arms, black outer and silver inner. not a bad looking crank in the wcs model.

I've seen the WCS crank in all silver...It's probably just a different version not shown on the web site. If the arm said pro I may be concerned. Call Ritchey if you are worried.

i've not seen all silver in the typical 34/50 compact config.

wish it was available that way.
