OP, does it have to be new? There are hundreds (or thousands) of cranksets on eBay for pretty reasonable prices. Silver is the color of vintage. I bought what appears to be an NOS (or VERY cleaned up, with no shifting marks!) Sugino Impel MTB crankset for 25 bucks. For your application, you could look for standard road triples, with a 74mm BCD inner pattern and a 110mm BCD outer pattern. You can do like I am and make a double out of a triple. I have a Sugino 74mm/110mm crankset that was originally a 30-40-50 triple and I replaced the 30 with a 26, I will keep the 40, and will replace the 50 with a 42 or 44 sized chain guard. So I'll have a 26-40 double with a pants cuff protector. PM me if you're interested in my old 30 tooth 74mm BCD ring.

Visual reference of my Sugino 30-40-50 before changing anything up on it. This may work well for your application.
