Alternative option is Spa Cycles own 110BCD 5 arm road crank/chainset which look good, well priced and square taper for any q-factor you want.

I quite like the now polished rival cranks though. And I've decided to only have square tapers on my road bike. I'd like to think I can go a little off-road with the Varonha (never gonna happen), splined cranks are better for fatties like me even if external bearings are less durable it seems (never had problems with the gxp I've been using).

External bearing are fine, it’s slightly more prone to misalignment compare to square tapers bb (as in BB she’ll aren’t 100% perfect), those are usually the main reason why bearing get notchy over times.

With a custom frames, it should mean the crank slide in without much effort.
