Some of you may be familiar with the UK firm Middleburn, which made some of 
the sexiest crankarms around and did a lot to promote the modular direct 
mount spider/chainring. 

Unfortunately, Middleburn dropped the chain and closed the doors for 
good. http://theradavist.com/2016/08/middleburn-closes-shop/

I rarely (as in once) ever saw Middleburn cranks on bikes in the US, which 
made them all the more desirable! Their coke-bottle shaped crankarms are 
unmistakable in profile. 

Ah well, it's always a sad day when another small cycling industry firm 
closes the doors. Perhaps some enterprising up-and-comer will purchase the 
tooling/designs and bring them to market again on a widely available basis.

Cheers,
Bill in Roswell, GA
