I have the Compass cranks on two bikes - a Hilsen and a Toussaint. Love them. They are quite tight on the Q-factor, so if you are used to triple MTB cranks, these will feel narrow. I believe I have a 107mm bottom bracket on the Hilsen. The Toussaint has a 113mm. As I use flats now exclusively, I am less sensitive to the narrow Q on these, but when I was using Frogs, I added a few washers to push them out a bit.
The quality is as promised. I have very little wear on the rings after several thousand miles on both bikes. They are quite beautiful, as well, so if you are concerned with aesthetics, this is your crank :) Let me know if you have any other questions.
