Surely the only other option is raceface. Or buy a deore strip it and take it down the anodisers.

Sorry, but I can't recommend Race Face...

Maybe Middleburn with anodized blue rings?

That would look awful! What's wrong with you!?

The old Race Face Next LPs would be cool if you could get some, but anodised would look pants IMO.

Depends on how it's done... A black crank with black outer/bashguard and blue inner/middle would be quite tasteful IMHO.

Wonder if Middleburn would anodise one for you direct? You would have to have deep pockets I should think.

The anodizing would wear off over time though.

Any finish wears off over time, just put some helicopter tape or similar on your cranks if it bothers you.

Now those look nice... I like.

Don't Superstar do a crankset in a range of colours?

A friend of mine's got a pair, and he's been pleased with them. Depends if you read the reviews on here I guess...

Hmmmm, did we not learn anything from the 90's - accents of colour good, covered in anodizing this:

Only joking - but careful not to overdo it.

I rather like that, especially those rainbow cranks. Proper purple haze...

I can't look at it for long though.
