I'm getting a shiny new audax frame from roberts in a couple of weeks and need a chainset to make it go. I've some bits and pieces already - older record levers, chorus rear mech, centaur cassette and chain (all 10sp).

I was aiming for a chorus 34/50 172.5mm crank as thats what I have on my road bike - its been great, However they cant be had for love nor money in 10sp - so my choices are carbon centaur, or get a record and fit it to the cervelo and move the chorus to the audax.

Question is - is there any difference bewteen the three cranks except 40g (or whatever it is)? I cant see any design or even material difference - all carbon arms with steel bottom bracket. Is the difference in the chainrings?

The record crank seems lumpy expensive at £360 or so; it would be nice if makes a difference....
