Wanted: Chainset

After a chainset, ideally a Sugino RD (or similar) but due to a very tight budget I can't afford new.

Max £45, including chainrings and postage (unfortunately I'm not in London).

Last resort before looking for a Shimano 600 chainset on eBay.

Pearson cycles have an FSA chainset that includes chainring and bottom bracket for £39.95.

Dogsballs hates it, but there is no denying that it is cheap as the proverbial Jockeys whips.

Seems good quality to me at the moment- choice of 165/170/175mm.

if your not in a rush, go for the 600

ideally i'm looking second hand: value for money an all.

get a strada or similar with 44t ring on ebay. i picked up a strada road double, 170mm cranks, 44+53t, for £28. going to use the 44t, nice gear with a 15t on the back.

or buy the new, but seriously uggers FSA. i know, i put one on a build for a friend.

Uggers 'tis true.

Works though, whilst one combs eBay for something nicer.

also - comes WITH bottom bracket. deal.

it's on this i think.

the FSA one is okay for the price. looks better if you swap out the chainring for silver. having said that i only have one on my polo bike.

i'm prepared to be patient and watch ebay for a few days.

I'm planning on using my Dremel to reshape them- voila! Instant Sug 75's.

just got myself an old dura ace chainset (road), for £25.

only problem being that is looks like I'll need a 68x103 BB, and shimano no longer seem to make such a thing.

I beleive sugino do.

is mixing sugino + shimano OK? no problems like with campagnolo and shimano? chainline will still be out a few mm, but I can always upgrade later, or use spacers on the crank bolts.
