+23 to that.
The Cospea is among the most beautiful cranks ever made, in my eyes.
The only ones as attractive are the TA Zephyr Light and the
first-and-second generation Shimano Dura-Ace (7400 or 7402), also
cold-forged.

have a double / triple from DaVinci which is about the same price and
is also a great crank. It is actually made by White Ind. and has the
advantage of fitting on a pretty short BB, so you can save some money
by keeping your current BB. That said, the velo orange version of the
Sugino crank looks very good, a step up from the XD2 but not nearly as
expensive as the other two. Both the Cospea and and the White are
lower Q than the XD2, which I also appreciate. Happy shopping.

Hi Michael,
How do you like that Sugino Cospea from Jitensha?
I am considering that or maybe this one from Ben's:
http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6455
The Jitensha is considerably more expensive and I realize they are not the
exact same part but I don't know which way to go. This is for a D58Kogswell
which has never performed quite the way it should as a 9 speed triple.
Going to try a compact double and will have to get a new bottom bracket in
the process. Thanks.

I'm afraid I "missed" this announcement and don't see any new dbls on
the web site, although I've long wished Riv offered a good double and
a better triple. I have this cospea, purchased from Jitensha
http://www.jitensha.com/eng/cospeacrnk_e.html. Which is a similar to,
but understated compared to the Mity Tour.

I was intrigued to see today's news describing a new double crankset.
I'm a little surprised to see that it's going to be $300. Not that
they can't be worth it, but Velo Orange sells a $170 Sugino double
that they claim has every possible upgrade and upcharge that Sugino
knows how to make in a square taper double. It's pretty
saucy:http://www.velo-orange.com/sualcr.html I wonder how Riv's will
differ?
