Stuck between a crank and a hard place. Which would you go for on the vintage 'rello below (remembering money is as tight as the frame)!

Lightly worn vintage Campy 170s

Some brand new Stronglight 165s

This ain't no general election - this is serious people.
Uncle Sam needs YOU! VOTE NOW!

ps. Realize I already posted this in a different thread, and that this may belong in a different section entirely, but need your opinions soon, so screw your petty 'rules' and such!

Yous thankfully,
Sam

I vote for the one you like the best.

I vote for the one BMMF likes the best.

always buy the most expensive one ;p

I'm going to retract my vote, and recast for the one horatio likes the best.

get the primato's

don't get the primato's

I stand by my original vote.

However, were this some form of mixed member plurality or a single transferable vote system, I would mark my 2nd preference off in favour of Pajamas.

stronglight

a little context:
first fixed gear. first build. have learned lots from reading, but nothing from experience. want to know i'm spending the better part of 100 greens where i should be.

• i vote for the one BMMF likes the best :)

..which is only there to neuter Corny's vote.

If it's your first build Sam is there the need to spend a hundred spots on a crank?

Suppose you've got a pinarello to live up to though...

tricky...

campag record is the bollox

I vote for none of the above.

Get those £50 Suginos from Condor, new cranks but save £$€
+£15 103mm BB

And you can choose from 42 to 48 ring size.

exactly pajamas, it's a toughie. for a fleeting moment i wished i never picked up the yello' 'rello, but it passed pretty quickly!
feel free to suggest any cheaper options though, or throw any used cranks you might have into the mix.

Those Vintage Campys have a habit of cracking, there is nothing better looking than them though.

The frame deserves campag.

I vote for picture 4. They are tasty. and seem to be most fitting for the frame, aesthetically speaking.

Go for the primatos, they are also pretty.
And they are new!!

fluted vintage will suit the frame better. however the others would be fine. i would recommend stronglight over miche as they're cheaper and have a JIS taper.

campag

Campag - but be sure you know where you are going to get a compatible bottom bracket from...

not stronglights, i have them, they are shite

I vote for what Gabes votes for.

What is wrong with Stronglights? I've had a seized non-drive side BB cup break during tardy removal, but other than that...
