the version of the vero crank that comes with most new fixed gear bikes these days has a 130 BCD...it's not the stiffest in the world but it's more durable than you might think...the ring that comes with it could be rounder...the finish isn't particularly durable but you get what you pay for (black BBQ spray paint will make it look good as new)...one thing to consider is they use FSA's proprietary Power Drive spline system bottom bracket which is roughly the same diameter as a square tapered BB but there's a 99% chance your LBS won't have it in stock...that being said, mine has lasted me longer than any ISIS BB I've ever had and it's showing no signs of failure yet...
