[MENTION=73614]rhm[/MENTION], great points. I was really thinking about current or recent production, nothing about the design. But your list of attributes of modern cranks points out how newer cranks are better than old ways because of those attributes. Now that I realize this, I wonder if I'll become more tolerant of how newer cranks look. I didn't even know the arms are hollow. That explains why they're so chunky.
Yes, but some of them are still ugly. Someone mentioned silver 105 5800 - I have it and I don't like the looks one bit. Some modern cranks are pretty good looking, Praxis comes to mind but they only come in black. I still don't understand this whole bloated thing:
Praxis - pretty good looking, just need some polish
I do like Tune, comes in variety of color combos but pretty up there $$$
