Yea, as far as the list of attributes I would like in a crank set...I've noticed the Velo-Orange triple crank set, the Sugino XD600, and the Shimano M590. I have no idea how to judge the quality of Sugino and Velo Orange. I barely know SRAM. I just feel comfortable with Shimano. Maybe one day I'll try another brand. Anyways, I did find a Shimano Deore 48/36/26 with silver crank arms. I didn't know that some silver components were painted rather than polished, though. Good to know...
