I have the same Race Face crank. One of the carbon fiber stickers was missing. I found some stickers on US ebay for $1.00 shipped that matched very well. So, if yours ever fall off or look tattered.. cheap replacements are plenty.
I have read all of your 5 posts. Clearly this way isn't helping you either. If you have a dispute with someone, there are other ways then negrep someone in every post.
To me this negrepping is annoying. You have 5 posts all giving Nick a bad name while he has a lot of positve feedback. This makes me wonder if I would sell or buy something from or to you in the future. If there is something wrong you will probably negrep me as well.
I think it is better that you contact John (site admin) and ask him what the best way is to deal with this.
If I can stick my oar in, I was under the impression that the Manitou SX's weren't included as Passiflora posted the frame to the Netherlands at no extra cost...
