Unless I find a great deal on the rival - I'm looking at a $60 price difference between the 2, and for $60, I'd be tempted to go for the carbon bling. I haven't looked whether rival comes in the 52 /36 compact.

I just switched to a compact red crank, not sure about chainrings since I run Rotor Rings, but I really like the crank. I just used my old GXP bottom bracket, I may still upgrade to the ceramic. I don't ride the Madone often in poor weather, but it does happen occasionally, and the ceramic BB is a little more fussy in poor conditions.
That said, Red is clearly the best value in a high end crank.Last edited by Mr. SR500; 05-08-2009 at 05:48 PM.

Thankfully you guys are convincing me that I should cave & buy one.
