Interesting Idea

I talked to John Arens yesterday (BTW he doesn't have fat bar clamps) and we had an interesting conversation about Cannondale Spindles
He has a ton of raw spindles in his possesion that just need to be finished up. He could easily finish these to take Honda sized ball joints. Since the Cannondale ball joints are non standard size and taper, and Honda's are a standard size, this would make it very easy for us to get replacement ball joints. According to John, it would also allow us to run 400ex a-arms without any problems.
What do you guys think about this? He said he would need to do a fairly large quantity because of all the setup required, and cost would be around $150 per set.
