Paul Silver cranks / rings

a short test run (2) of polished Paul test cranks / rings are coming in to BLB sometime soon. Gonna look something like this (but all shiny like):

niice

hmm, I think that they're pretty bad...

(awaits bombardment of criticism)

is all about simplicity/symmetry i think

I guess they could look good

Ah, but at BLB they'll be something like >£200 I'm sure

they'll charge you a pound to look at them...

^Ha!

Out of interest, what size rings are they getting in?

NFI, sorry. It's a test batch so, I'm guessing 48T?

I see. What do you mean a test batch? They've been around for years. Or you mean that they're testing the consumer to see if they can sell them? Therefore probably adding an extra 15/20% to the price

Pauls only usually come in black ring, so the test batch is to really only test the fact that a polished / silver finish will come out ok. Bit like the paul levers that BLB get in - rather than the normal black / silver, they're all silver.

heh heh heh.
its all about getting them sent to a friend who sends them to you.
heh heh heh.
(might eventually have a set for sale at some point later in the summer- don't know yet)

they look nice & nickable

Looks like a wrought iron gate!

I've seen silver before.

these are a work of art, i've handled a black set and truly the workmanship is phenomenal!!

Anyone know if these have landed on these shores yet? I've never even seen them on eGay for inflated prices

want

paul's crank is overated . . .

sugino 75 all the way

flickwg has a pair on frankenbike2

185 a shot for the all black ones

and you guys probably never realize how the whole custom duty/shipping/taxes work will you???which affects the price in the shop???

yes, which is why i sold them to flickwg ;)

Does anyone know what BB will give a decent chainline with Phil hub and cog?

[a] Paul Chainset with 46T @ Freshtripe for £155 and [b] Recommended BB is a Campy 111mm

The Paul chainset gives a 45mm chainline, i believe.....with the Campy BB.....so supposedly.....as Phil hubs have a chainline of c42mm.....You would need [knocking off 2mm of axle lenth for 1mm of chainline...if my maths are correct]....an axle of 105-107mm...so perhaps a Phil BB is your best bet and then fine tune it......but this is only an educated at best guess.
