New(to me) frame, which cranks?
So I came into some extra money bought a barely used 2007 ftp frame (with the stock crankset) on craigslist. The frame came with the stock fsa carbon crankset and isis bottom bracket, but I have a set of omniums that are almost new that I bought for my other bike before I got this frame. I am going to be riding this bike a lot more and cannot decide whether I should just leave the stock cranks on there or if I should swap on the omniums? I have searched and tried to research a lot before I asked this, but I really can't find much info on the 07 ftp. Any help would be appreciated.

There is nothing wrong with them, I am actually leaning towards leaving them on there. I'm just not very familiar with carbon cranks and am wondering if I'll have any problems vs the omniums.

After watching this, I cannot criticize carbon anymore.

They'll probably be just fine under normal use.
