I'm really fond of the Davinci Crank which is mfg. by White. (their web page shows it in polished black but I have two in silver and think that is still available) Like the TA it comes with interchangeable spiders, low Q & good looks, double or triple. Not cheap but not crazy expensive either. I wish RBW would pick it up as a co branded crank.
