While we're on about cheap-o cranksets. On-one make a nice one (probably a rebaged version of one of the above), but it comes in a nice black or mirror finish (which is a little different). Can get 'em with square or ISIS tapers. And your supporting a nice UK based business (although the parts are made in China/Taiwan). 50 quid.
OK ignore that, the chainline on these things is 47.5mm, which is way off for a 'track' chainset. They may be of some value if you're using a road hub in the back rather than a track hub.
For cheap-o solutions the RDs are nice. Also keep seeing cheap-o cranks (such as the Truvativ ones fitted to Bianchi Pistas) for about 50-60 quid on Ebay
