Crankset recs

[coreyaugustus]

Suppose you had a Campagnolo 12 speed group, but didn't want to use the Campy cranks. What cranks would you use to (a) be compatible, which I don't think is a big issue, and (b) complement the aesthetic of the 12 speed bits?

I've considered Appleman and PraxisWorks as viable options. Any others?

I think the Praxis Zayante carbon cranks are some of the classiest looking cranks around.

I too like the Praxis Zayante carbon cranks, though I have only used them with a Campy 11 speed build -- shifting was excellent and I like the look. However, Praxis doesn't make a ITA BB so if your bike has that it's a major PITA to make them work (or at least it was, I haven't looked in a while).

In the non-exorbitant category I'd consider Rotor and White Industries, though the last time I looked WI said the VBC aren't compatible with Campy 12. In the "price is no deterrent" category, EEWings, Sturdy, and THM Clavicula. Note that I don't have any experience with any of these.

Shrug. I dont get it.

You want a 12sp compatible crank that compliments the 12sp campagnolo group.

What is it about the Campagnolo cranks you don't like?
