The 10 speed Dura Ace is (IMO) the most solid crankset around, especially in terms of BB interface, plus it just looks cool. I'm not at all a fan of FSA's stuff which is why I'd suggest that.

Does anyone have any opinion of the Ritchey WCS Carbon crankset? Is it a bad idea to go with a crankset that requires an Octalink BB? I'm not concerned with being able to find a replacement Octalink should the Dura Ace one ever die. Highly unlikely. There are some FSA cranksets that are lighter but I've heard issues with shifting, arms falling off, etc that I've pretty much written them off. I could also buy a cheaper compact crank and wait until something better comes out.
