So Im bagging my old bottom bracket and crank arms. Any suggestions for a tough and reliable setup?

My brev.m set is doing me really well. And it had several different colour choices for the stylish rider oolala
Sugino RD2, Sugino 75, Old shimano 600, Suntour Suberbe, Campy Pista, Shimano DA track, Sram Ominum, etc etc etc.

It would help if you gave us a budget.
In addition to what Deshi suggested, there are also Andels (and all the rebadged version of it), and cheaper varieties like Eight Inch and the likes.
Budget, bike, use, age, etc. Those are the things that would help us make a proper recommendation.

For the OP, I like my eighthinch cranks. Yea, they are heavy, but they are cheap and feel sturdy enough for me. That being said, my 125 pounds doesn't put too much stress on my equipment.

Wrapture.

Wrapture is really good but I get burned out on that place.
We're talking about next Monday though, so if I don't eat there for the rest of the week maybe I'll go for it. There's also a new place over on Rantoul called 'The Farm' that supposedly makes a mean pulled pork sandwich...

We still don't know any sort of details regarding what the OP is actually looking for. Until we get some, I declare this a food thread.

I had roasted pork belly, sauteed broccoli with sesame oil, and butter sauteed tofu with jasmine rice for dinner. I eat incredibly well for a college student.

I love broccoli but I'm craving for some lentil soup and rotti.

I had a bacon egg sandwich for lunch. And 4 cheese Cheezits.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD THICK CUT BACON?????? It is infinitely better than regular bacon.
Also, farm raised organic eggs are really, really good. It sucks that they're $4 for a carton of 12, though.

I personally just have my own chickens. The eggs taste better than any you'll find at a store, and you can buy baby chicks for 2 bucks a pop.
Save money on buying eggs, and they taste better anyway.

If your lazy you could always convince a nieghboor to and just buy there eggs for cheap.

Don't buy a rooster though, they will crow at the most random time...like 3 in the morning when you're trying to sleep.

Yeaaahh. Roosters are a pain. They do sound nice every once in a while, but not constantly.
But yes, I have 5 lay hens.
Had six, but one was just eaten by a coyote.
I usually just try to get Bacon that has more meat than fat on it.. thick cut Bacon is so expensive!

Thick cut and regular are totalllyyyyyyyy different.

Win. The wife is Canadian and whenever anyone from her family comes to visit they bring us tons of cheese curds and Poutine sauce. One of my all-time favorite foods, right there!
Last night we made tuna melts (but not your average tuna melts). Grilled, thinly-sliced bluefin steaks on freshly-baked sourdough toast with jalapenos, tomatoes and cheddar cheese. It was a lot of prep but hot damn, well worth it.

I've been real stoked on cooking with goat cheese lately.
Those alien cranks look pretty rad. I'll have to do some reading.

I've walked by that place a bunch of times and it's always HELLA packed. Haven't even tried to go in.

Do it. The standing-room-only-dining makes the experience all the better. My bro works in NYC and my sister used to go to school there, and of all the places they've taken me on my visits, it's one of my favorites.
