Cool Cranks?
Hey guys, so I have seen Profiles, Redlines, shimanos and aerospeeds.
To me the profiles and redlines look much the same, kind of generic blobs of rounded metal.
The new shimanos are just to stocky and bloated looking for my tastes.
Now the aerospeeds are totally kick ass, but $500 bucks plus the horrendous wait prevent me from getting them.
What other cool cranks are out there, that have personality and I am missing?

Finally someone mentioned Cook Bros. I've had a couple sets over the years and they are great.
Trying to find a new or used set of black crank bolt caps is not so great however. 
Wanted: NOS or Mint Phil Wood all alloy BMX hub set in black or polished.
GT Race Hubs in chrome or black.
2012 55cm Colnago Master X-Light frame. Any colour.
