I want one of these badly!

The sweep goes the wrong way

So it's been 15 pages and five years, and no one posted a picture of Rotors. Are they considered to be that ugly?

They're cool, just not beautiful.
Aldhu carbon are pretty sleek though.

Anything with the word "gravel" on it is automatically anti porn

I want those.

Actually, no, I want some road cranks painted up like that.

Not my pic, but I like this early version of the Clavicula. Some delicious angles. I bought a used one. To increase its beauty I'll probably blacken the ugly logo and maybe add a little blue neon paint to a few surfaces https://glowtec.co.uk/uv-neon-paint/

This is mine.

I also have a Rotor RSX triple. But I doubt anyone would accuse it of being a looker. Maybe we need an ugly cranks thread?

I think this is it

Those carbon ones are the ugliest cranks I've ever seen

^This!

Unpainted carbon doesn't photograph well. It looks much better IRL.

Doesn’t stop it being 100% cool.

I didn't know that H R Giger designed cranks.

Why paint? Is there an Airsoft scene in the UK? Those guys go nuts with ano on their guns, check it out. You want a finish like those Suginos, those guys will be all over it.

Sorry, but the spider on Clavicula cranks is on the wrong drugs.

Don’t they all do hydrodipping?

I don't know shit about paint or coatings. I just know these look purrty.

NFI, the lustre just made me think maybe it was ano. Definitely the coolest way to do a finish like this by a long shot.

Rotors are ugly ?
I disagree, i have a couple, and i mean the agilis is still one of my all time favorites.
I sold the black one a while ago but still have the red one.

The 3d is a classic too imo, i would say its one of the for fathers of modern cnc alu cranksets. Shame they never made a silver version though.
I have a cobo edition too, just coz why not, but i dont think i can ever put it on a bike.

My other submission would have to be the classic record non fluted from campa... i mean its such a beauty.

Rad! I don't think anybody said Rotors are ugly? That was only about that weird triple thing

Cobo, hah had forgotten about him

Perhaps my Clavicula could be improved with some googly eyes? It looks like Pepe the frog eating a big sausage.

Aside from spelling and historical inaccuracy, being part of something fundamentally flawed is no recommendation.
