Bercause of the chainring combination- it's a 48/34. Wait, how do you put a 34 inner ring on a Dura Ace 7400 130 BCD crankset? Why, you start with a 6206 triple crank (same design aesthetic but 110/110/74) and send it over to forum member Stephen Needle in England. He milled it down, polished it up to a mirror finish, and pantographed the Dura Ace logos:

But there's more. Discuss!
That crankset puts a very positive light on counterfeiting! Looks like you might have laced up H+Son TB14s? Keep meaning to try these.

Thanks for sharing a terrific build. Lots of details I hope to incorporate into my own.
