Hi Ken -
Based on my experience with bottom brackets making use of outboard bearings
(like the one integrated into the new Sugino crankset), it's a very good
idea.
It creates an incredibly strong, stiff system. I find my cranks with the
outboard bearings to be much more efficient than my crank
This crank uses an exo bottom bracket, correct?
Is that a really good idea?

And Della Santa is American -- all the more interesting as that must
be a custom -- club racer with room for 35s.

Max -- congrats! First pair of Keos I've seen on this list beside mine!
Nice bike, with very interesting setup. That's also the first Italian
racing bike I've seen with 35 Kojaks!
And: how do y'all keep your bikes so clean? That drivetrain looks as
if it hasn't been ridden.

It looks like my favorite (and very weird) crank of all time, the Campy
Record OR for mountain bikes from the early '90s.

I have the earlier version of this crankset, in 26-40. It's a terrific crank.

Rob at Ocean Air Cycles told me $340, which I believe included rings.

For what it is worth, these are in the same wholesale price league as White
industry crank sets with a WI bottom bracket. Likewise the Compass RH
offering is just a bit more without a bottom bracket. The corresponding
retail prices all appear to be in the hunt as well if you shop around, and
Among the highlights is that Soma finally is embracing the inherent
flexibility of the chainring choices. When they started offering the $500
flavor, they didn't offer it with anything smaller than a 34T small ring,
which is what we all can already get with every other 110mm bcd crankset.
Now
the finish looks dull in the pictures, guess they saved money on polishing?
I wish IRD would do their Defiant crankset in a 94 BCD double. That would
be a real big seller. There are plenty of 94 mm chain-rings around.

Note the 145mm Q factor. For those who it matters to, this will be a "big
deal". Note it is designed in the spirit of the TA Cyclotouriste Crank
with it's low Q and small ratios, except you are no longer limited to that
odd and often wobbly tiny BCD ! You can use the common 110mm BCD :)

Wonder how much it'll be. Probably not XD2 cheap, but hopefully not too
bad.
In any case, another good option for wide range doubles...If it's c
