Yeah, a crank with more rounded edged probably would complement the frame and its curves better. The Phil doesn't look all that bad, just could look better on a different bike

That is a purdy Ci-nelli! One of them I-talian bi-cycles very very nice. Does it have the Campanoglos on it?

I agree. I found it more comfortable to pucker up your rear end if you ever find yourself riding on one involuntarily.

I looked at some closeups on their site. Maybe I'm missing the purpose. But it looks like the max you could turn a wrench is 1/4 rotation. And that looks kinda crowded and sketchy unless you use a ratchet with an extension.
Chubby McFatso chain stays aren't my cup of tea either.

The color of both those bikes would be better on a garbage truck or the inside of a factory or prison. The darker one is marginally better but I still can't get past the tapered head tube.
The saddle on the darker one is nice though. Anyone know what it is?

Asymmetric stays kill it for me.
