What are the ones in the second pic? Actually really like them

Aliexpress crank looks ace. It's MTB mind.

Looks good from the front, that rear view is saying heavy and/or flexy to me.

Is that a Pornhub reference?

Lol no, just think they look pretty cheap in this image

to me da 9000 is the bees knees

Best cranks are the ones you do yourself. Recently bought a 16" Redline for the 4Yr old daughter. Rainbow unicorn was her colour choice for the bike. I rekon im on cue.

love it, how did you do it?

White primer is best to make the brighter colours pop, spray some cling film and roll the item in. Use multiple coats/colours.

At first I wasn't sure, but it has grown on me

I can't love anything where the sweep goes the wrong way. Improvements over the original TA Cyclotouriste rings were basically done once Stronglight made their pentagram ones

The Chater Lea crankset has a kind of steampunk look to it. I like the brass touches. Soon to appear on @PeteJChurchill 's Rivendell Sam Hillborne project.

That is beautiful

I saw this thread pop up and wondered if it was because of that!

I won't lie, I have no regrets about the crankset. It's ludicrous, but beautiful. Although I hate to disappoint, but the one with the brass bits felt a bit much, so I've gone for the plain silver one.
