Because of this, I have a basket full of 130mm BCD chainrings, including several Biopace chainrings, which I love.
John Dace at Businesscycles has Stronglight track cranks with 130mm BCD spacing.

They weigh 75 grams less than my SuginoRD's and cost $117 for the crankarms only.

I may be talking outta my ass, but ISIS, octalink 2, the new DA/Ultegra/105 w. the integrated spindle are probably better technology (i.e. lighter, stiffer, more durable) than ANY square taper crank.
Still too new to be 100%, but keirin racers and fixed dudes are the only ones who haven't gone over to the other side.
Kinda like aheadset, square taper gets by on style. That said, lots of cranks are sweet. C-record are just the prettiest. And I don't think crank stiffness makes much of a difference unless you're a clydesdale.

I went with the Dura Ace crankset--they'll match up well with the hubs. Threw the wallet on the table already. As classy as they are, I'm not worthy of the Sugino Grand Mightys. Can't wait to get this bike going...

So, does anyone have a serious study of track crank stiffness for all of the currently produced and no longer produced sets? I tried searching under multiple terms for such a study, but it doesn't appear to exist online. I'm quietly considering a set of Grand Mighty cranks, but I want to know exactly how much stiffer they are than 75s...
