Terry, Sean

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but Techniques are FUGLY!

The Techniques =

Cooks cranks =

1pc do look the same but for durability it has to be takagi or sugino. 3pc then 400s all the way.

I always loved my 1peice - Oddy xcaliber I got for tenner from Halfrauds on flog off.
Never looked into 3 piece but I would guess GT.

One piece all look the same and all bend the same,
best looking cranks full stop are GT Profile

a gentleman who knows his onions

altho TNT 3pc cranks are gorgeous also

will also add, that not a patch on GT Profiles, but the best looking redline cranks IMO are the early 90s half wraps

I like Takagi one piece and Redline 400's for the three piece

GT profiles are my all time favourites but I dont think they are the best looking cranks. If it came down to looks alone Ive always loved Boss 3PC.

As for OPC there isnt much in them to me, but I really dont like the ones that have the rounded 90 degree bend on the chain wheel side. They just look cheap and nasty to me (but probably cost loads).
