I believe we have the only set of BB30 cups for Lightning Cranks in existence right now. The beauty of the system is that the cranks are exactly the same for BB30 and for standard frames, they just use different cups. The BB30 cups press into a BB30 frame, whereas with the standard Lightning setup the cups thread into the frame. Here are a few photos to whet your appetite:

Tim Brummer (Lightning Cycles) has been making some of the best-kept secret components for years. Maybe not as finely finished as the big names, but every bit functionally better.
Nice! I love the modularity of these things. Replaceable spiders. Replaceable cups. Very nice.
