So somebody that owns one needs to post it.

I don't agree, but the Mavic "starfish" crank deserves to be known by everyone, for better or for worse....
That whole Mavic group was novel and interesting. Maybe too much of a departure from the era of Campagolo Record for some, perhaps?
In some ways, I suppose this crank could be the first step towards the aesthetic of modern Shimano cranks, and for that, it may earn some enmity of the C&V crowd.
