But the cost of a f. der is low as it has been pointed out.

If the OP has a triple with a triple BB then moving to the crank that he has posted will not work unless he has a new BB to go with the double b/c the BB is too long.

OP...if that is your case then go for this....http://aebike.com/site/page.cfm?PageID=30&SKU=CR4234...
Thanks for the posts and links. I need to take a closer look at the FSA crank. You seem to to be way ahead of most when it comes to compact cranks. I think compact cranks are becoming more popular. On my present bike I don't use the 3rd chainring (smallest.) Also, using the compact crank could help solve some chainline issues on certain gearing choices while still providing adequate gear ranges. IMHO
