Crank choice?

[ishaw]

A build begins, and I'm either going 2x10 or 1x10. A rummage in the garage has unearthed a few crank options, I'm hoping you can help me pick the best from the collection.

New FSA after burner d10 double

New FSA afterburner 386 double

Used E13 trs which I can run as a double duo style, or single direct mount

Used Xtr m970 with some new custom mounts to allow 2x or 1x (blanks for the outer ring to match the outer spider profile).

 

[mk one]

The E13, maybe the XTR, hard to say which until we see the frame

Re:

This is the frame (not the actual one, that's still wrapped up at the moment). It's in absolute mint condition, not a mark that I've spotted yet.

Meet my first Kona, a Kula Scandium:

Due to the colour scheme (the red/orange metallic looks great), I'm probably going to go with white forks, stem, bars and saddle (though I can be persuaded that's a bad idea).

nice frame, You weighed it?

 

[ishaw]

Not yet, haven't taken off the wrapping as I don't know when I'll get to build it up.

Re:

Not yet, but the wheels I plan to use for it arrived today.

That looks nice, i would be tempted to use XTR

What forks you thinking of using?

Re:

I was going to go for sids as I have a set doing not a lot. Could go fox too but thinking sids.

I do have a spare m970 groupset and some custom blanking bolts to fit the arm profile so I could run 1 or 2x. Not sure yet....
