Again the Davinci Crank has a Q of 158, has interchangeable spiders, weighs 400 grams, is a high polish silver, is made in America, is very stiff, is $100 less than TA. Or one might consider the White VBC crank, which has a Q of 137, and, as a double, can be configured all the way down to a 24 if you want.
