but are they not all the same China forging??--me thinks so I don not believe Callies used anything but import forgings just like everyone else--polish them nice and make them look good charge more

I don't know about the bb cranks but I can tell you for certain my sb Callies crank was indeed forged right here in the good ol us of a not only was it stamped right in the crank I was also told that straight from Callies at the time of order they even told me the name of the foundry but that I do not remember as it was years ago.
