A couple Campy carbon cranks and some Ultegra cranks, too. And a SRAM Red also some FSA crapola. ...and a heavy low-end fixie crank.
I'm crank wealthy.

I can appreciate the weird aero cranksets, but they tend to look appropriate only on a high zoot track frame. IMO, naturally.

Oh wait, I have a fatbike crankset too, guess I need to post that for sale. It's a 1x only and just after purchasing it I found a 3x that weighed the same (sans rings)

I guess I'm dirt poor, just have two FSA Gossamers and one Tiagra - all are right side only (for chainring harvesting purposes)

Wet ride today. Guy got in a squeeze on the outside of another rider, locked up his brakes, clipped a sign post with his bars, and broke his top and down tubes near the steerer. Fortunately, he was okay. I was very happy to have discs.

2) It's stuff like this that makes me roll my eyes when people argue that the ability to lock up the rim brakes means that discs don't have an advantage.
