I love chrome cottered cranks too!
I have a super course with them, not a Heron head chainring of course, but, I like/appreciate most anything bicycle related and I do take my resto modded 3 speeds on 50-100 mile rides which makes for a nice day, but to put down a century on a stock Raleigh sports is somewhat less appealing to me, primarily due to the steel rims, but the overall weight is also unappealing.
