I talked with Brad, the owner of AC, at his booth at Interbike. AC, a USA manufacturer of OEM dirt and vert cranks, can CNC in aluminum some single-speed road, mountain, or track cranksets including a chain ring in lots colors for about $70 retail. You may already have a bottom bracket to fit. The colors were good. If you don't like logos, ask email the kids around the globe who continue to hack the iPhone. I'm sure they can tell you how to remove something.
AC cranksets come in the traditional square taper and an ISIS bottom bracket option for your big strong dogs who round your tapers. I have not ridden these cranks yet. But if they are decent, this might be a great option for fixed and single conversions. And AC makes green (as well as a high-polished silver crank and ring not pictured). AC's site is not pretty or up to date. But many times, this can be a good sign for people who make bike components. It means someone is CNC machining and not listening to techno while typing.
The purple and red Sugino 75s are in, as are some Sugino pink Messenger cranks, and MKS alloy toe clips and Nitto track bars and stems in blue and gold. Chris King is still making fit it and forget it components in lovely hues. And, according to a recent phone conversation with Phil Wood, they may be offering some new track hub colors in the very near future.
Yes, the shop cases are looking like a happy parade.
