Retro Alternative to XTR M952 Crank?

[alex1981]

Building up my Coyote http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67781 and one of the last things is to get a set of nicer cranks. Would be nice to have a set of M952/M960 XTR cranks but I have found them to be few and far between and the ones that do crop up either fetch silly money or are not in great condition.

So what alternatives are there? Don't want to go too far back, want a micro chainset and needs to be fairly light. What do people reckon would suit?

Race Face turbines are from about the same period and as cool looking as they are strong. They aren't exactly cheap but you get a lot of bang for your buck and the silver ones look good even after they've taken some abuse.

Sugino Mighty 900? LOads banging around, lots in 180mm and a better finish than polished M900.

I don't like the look of the Sugino for some reason.

Nay matter. Have you considered the XT 737 crankset? The prettiest they ever made.

Much prefer the XTR to the XT 737 tbh. Can't find a pic on the crank brothers ones - you got any info on them?
