And if the Cospea/Alpina in black works for you, as well as the Octalink
bottom bracket, here's one for only $151:

I have the silver Cospea, and this black one. And they are exactly the
same, except for being anodized (not painted) black.

That VO Alpina is nice, but if I was looking for the economical route,
I'd seriously consider the $105 XD700. That's a pretty sweet crank
and I kind of prefer the not-so-polished finish. To each his/her own,
I suppose.
Agree, the XD series crankset is the bargain! However, if you want a
nice finish, check out Jitensha's version of the Cospea/Alpina crank:

However, the price is basically the same as Riv:
Comes in either square taper for traditional bottom brackets, or
Octalink. Lengths: 165, 167.5, 170 (Octalink only), 172.5, 175
cranks with black Sugino rings in 48 and 34t $280.00
with T.A. chainrings $330.00
The only downside is the rings are black. Perhaps, they sell the TA
rings in silver. Of course, at $330, it should be available in any
color you want!
Thanks to whomever pointed out the TA Carmina. Even though it appears
pricey, and only imported by Euro Asia, it's good to know that one can
get a 94 or a 94/58 crankset in 172.5 for a square taper BB.
Peter White has a nice write up about this crank:

Good Luck!
