Yeah, fuck logic - I mean, it's a Brompton. But the standard chainset looks a bit shit and wimpy, and I'd rather not have square taper on anything if I can avoid it. Also, it seems like one of the relatively 'standard' parts that can be changed for something off the shelf.
I initially spotted a couple of Bromptons with carbon cranks and thought that seemed fun, then got even keener on the idea when I spotted the cheap Fulcrum cranks on Merlin, but then realised stupid BCD meant that was a bad idea, but the seed of the idea is planted now, so I'm keeping an eye out for cheap fancy cranks...
