I would buy this.

And spend some money on a good chainring.

Have you tried removing the BB from the Draft? I've got a '09 Draft as well but the BB seems to be impossible to remove.

don't spend any money on a crank. save and get a new,newer,newish,used frame as long as it's not an SE.

Hi-ten steel for the win! I'm not a big fan of the FSA Vero I used to have them on my road bike, they didn't seem very stiff. When I upgraded to SRAM Force cranks it made a world of difference. I have a set of S300 courier cranks, and I love them.

The cranks discussion always intrigues me, one person comparing the cheap stuff as being too flimsy and now their top speed is borderline that of sound because they got $300 cranks on their bike!
I doubt you're able to notice crank stiffness, you may feel the BB flexing or your frame before you feel the cranks so all that money you spend on anything over $100 on cranks is just for bling and flash!
So just to remind people, he wants cranks for an SE DRAFT . . . not some track speed demon, so anything more expensive than Origin 8 stuff is honestly going to be a waste of cash.
