This is the smartest and most versatile triple crank on the market, and is almost too smart and all-around good to even exist in these weirdo times. It's possible that Sugino wishes it could wipe it out with a new modern-style  crank, but hasn't the resources to do that yet. So for now, everybody with a decent job should dig deep and buy at least two of them, just to encourage Sugino to keep making it. 
It has about a 161mm to 165mm Q Factor (outside-to-outside width), depending on what length spindle on which you mount it. In the old days we'd consider that wide, but by modern standards it's smack dab medium. 

On road bikes with straight (normal) chain stays, mount it on a 107 to 110mm bb. If your bike has bowed-out chain stays like most mountain bikes, it'll need a 113mm. Unlike most cranks, it also comes in a 165mm arm length. 

At only $114, it is a shocking deal. 110/74 bolt circle design. We usually get them with 46x36x24 rings, but sometimes they're only available with 48x36x26 rings so you may get one or the other.  Rings are plain and simple; no ramps or pins.  Works with everything but 10 (or more--nice one campy) speed cassette drive trains.
Before installation, be sure to make sure all the chainring bolts are as tight as can be.  And if a bolt and nut is a spinnin, here's the special tool to keep it from doin so.

And for all you torque-spec types: 320-390 inch pounds.
