IRD makes some pretty nice cranks that may fit the bill.

David you will get many different perspectives on gearing because we are all
unique and think our gearing approaches work well and wish to share that joy.
I have several bikes with comparable gearing as you propose and it perfectly
meets my needs in the Midwest and surprisingly hilly Michigan
Thanks so much for all of your help and suggestions. It’s more than likely I
will end up going with the WI. I’ll just have to learn to live with the black
rings. For those of you that have or have used this crank what can you
tell me regarding its compatibility with STI? Does it shift
Check out the SunXCD! It is what I picked out for my Roadini. You can use their
chainrings or an adapter/spider for others.

Ginz, as Daniel says it is a bit of a cash outlay, but the Shimano bar-ends
work beautifully as friction or indexed. But, they require an adapter, like
Paul makes, which adds to the cost.
Microshift, which Riv sells, is a good option.
Best,

I still have an XC-Pro 7 speed right (rear) thumb shifter, NOS, that has
that ghost 8th position and will operate Shimano 8 speed. Not a set, but
dreams can come true.

One option, should you (David) set your eye on a pretty 130 bcd crank: you
can always customize your cassette to get the gearing you want. When I
owned my Ram, I first set it up with a 44/30 (old aluminum crank!!) and
something like a 14-23 7 speed; then I fell in love with and had a brief

I'll share my thoughts on the White Industries VBC, of which I have two
pairs.
The pros: Pretty, not crazy expensive, seems strong and stiff enough for
mortals like me (i.e., doesn't rub the front D cage when hoofing it), MUSA
(if important).
The cons: uses proprietary lockring and chainrings,
I advise you rethink this. The Compass Rene Herse is the best crankset for
your build, in my opinion.
Another important distinction you did not make in this thread, but you did
make elsewhere is that this build will be 11-speed Shimano and your Front
Shifting will be STI. That totally
There's these custom made cranks from High Sierra Cycle Center. These
guys make the custom cranks for Zinn.

Daniel,
Now, if someone would just make a quality, indexed 8 speed thumbie, we'd be
in business.

David, I use the Rivendell Silver cranks which have a high end of 44 and
low of 26. I never really need too low. I think a 44/30 would be good. I
use a 11-32 cassette.
If I were you, I'd check out the Carmina cranks. They look very good,
silver, and have a wide range of chainring options.

You could do a 26/42 up front.
Make sure the big ring is geared with rear cassette so you can handle 95%
of your riding so you can stay in that ring.
Like, use a 11-32 Shimano HG50 8-speed cassette on the rear with an SRAM
PC850 chain and you are all set.

David-
If you like triples, then you probably want a drivetrain with a wide range
and some good, low gears.
*Compact Double:*
You can get that combination easily with a wide-range rear cassette (for
example, 11-34t) and a standard "compact double" crankset (110 bcd, 50/34
rings). The 34:34 is a
I actually forgot all about Sugino! Thanks for the reminder. I don’t think I’d
use the XD2, but will check out their road cranks later this evening.
Gearing is something I’m not sure about. I’d love some advice. I have triples
on other bikes and love them, but want a double for sure on the
Being interested in DaVinci and White VBC would make me believe David's
cranks of consideration must be for square taper BBs, so the Sugino OX
would be out. I had a Mavic crank (on my MB-0) that cracked from a CNC
machined edge at the point where the base of the arm formed a web as its
contour
Some info about your desired gearing would probably help with suggestions.
Are you thinking traditional road, like 53/39t? "Compact", as in 50/34t?
Sub-compact?
Personally, I like a 44/28t ring combo and farily low-Q on my road bike,
which really narrows down the options.

On Thursday,
Just as a reference point, Sugino XD2 double 110bcd 34/43 rings weighs 677g.
That includes rings, arms, bolts.
For a Rivbuild that isn't going to be vintage looking I think the Sugino
stuff is great. All silver, doesn't look olde tymie and doesn't look
transformer new like new cranksets ny
Have you considered the Sugino OX series? Or Sugino Mighty Tour?
Available in silver, 110/74 BCD, many crank-arm lengths. I think they're
available 11-sp compatible.
OX is available at different price points depending on the level of finish.
Good luck!

Hi Steve.
I’ve mostly written it off because I feel its aesthetic speaks to a different
era than the one guiding me in this build. Also, and admittedly I have no real
knowledge to base this on, I feel like a 5 bolt pattern is preferable to the 3
bolt pattern that the RH uses.

Rene Herse - reported flex complaints and price keep me away.
I guess think about what gearing you want. Start from there.
You want 53-39 race gearing? (alot available)
40/26 wide /low? (get Sugino or Silver wide low cranksets)
Double or Triple?
I personally would not buy vintage as I would fear
