It is an Orbea, and no, the other bikes were different makes, types.

They were installed one sleepy day back in December right in the shop. A reputable LBS. I got the impression at the shop (from the employees - in the back where I was standing as they went over my bike) and from a quick google search that this particular crank model is a problem. I think I'll write to Orbea, but I want to wait and see what LBS does first.
