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.

If Rivendell makes its own cranks, how many say 110/74 and how many say smaller -- 86 or 54 or whatever the old Cyclotourist is? The virtue of the smaller BCD is that you can run very compact doubles in the outer two positions; 54 down to 26 and, IIRC, 86 down to 26. I use a XD2 as a 38/24, but I
