I was in France last week, and saw in some magazine (Velo perhaps) a
picture of a FSA Integrated Crankset in line with the DA/Coda design.
It had what appeared to be carbon arms and DA style deep large
chainring, but I think it was anodized blue. I was pretty impressed,
but didn't think much of it since I figured it was old news if it was
in a magazine (being in Europe for a couple weeks, I figured I was
just behind the buzz).

Now that I'm home, I can't find out anything out them. Has anyone
else seen this? Looks pretty cool.

Don't remember where it came from online, but I have a pic of one from the
Taipei show. Called the Mega Exo; it's like the new 7800 DA with outboard
bearings and the spindle built into the right side crank arm. No blue rings
on this one, but who knows what it'll look like by production time.

I had an "integrated crankset" on my '72 Schwinn Varsity.

(which says a lot of what I think of the idea)

I guess I was behind the times. This is from a velonews article 3/11.

That's the FSA web site.

I posted right here earlier, but it appears as a seperate thread. So,
hopefully, see http://www.parktool.com/repair_help/bbt9.shtml for a
related article

Yeah, but their site is up to date as of mid-2003 I think. No mention
of the Mega Exo.

The version pictured looks to be an Al mtn version, not carbon road.

Yeah, but it doesn't show the integrated crankset anywhere. My guess
is that the Velonewts article is a very early preview of 2005 product.
It'll probably be in stores for Christmas.
