If you trawl eBay you can often find cheapish S Works power cranks for sale. Matches the frame obviously but they also look really nice. Pair them with some Praxis chainrings and shifting is almost as good as Shimano.

S Works power cranks
Yeah I'd thought about them. I used to quite like them but have went off them a bit now. They look a bit dated somehow, they haven't really been updated much since first release.
I've wondered if theres a new updated s-works chainset to be released any time soon. I think they have stopped producing the non power meter versions so I wonder if that means theres a new version in the pipeline?
But then I kinda feel s-works cranks on s-works frame is a bit plain somehow

Quick mock up. I think I like the tan walls more than expected.
The Ti bolts on the stem conveniently match the frame so I'll go with it.
I've started sanding down the stem and removed the decals on the side.
I was going to continue and remove all the decals and then apply a new wet look clear coat but I'm now starting to think about painting the stem.
Was thinking of painting it to match the purple/green flip on the frame or a black base coat with a subtle glitter/rainbow/sparkle effect. Yay or nay?
Could well be hours of time wasted - it would be a very diy job but my young nephew has a compressor/spray guns and repaints his own car and motorbike parts.
Or I do it my self in the garage with decent quality spray cans but high quality paints are pricey. Other option is have it painted professionally but I'd guess that would cost more than the stem is worth?
Next question is which crank set?
I was originally keeping my hollowgrams and have them re-anodised in a new colour buy I've now sold them...
Thinking of something a little different from the Red/dura ace usual suspects.
I like aesthetic look of the canecreek ti cranks but the price forbids it. Any suggestions welcome
