what do we think to these, obviously they're nothing special but they're so cheap and i need some new cranks, what could go wrong...?

You could never swap chainring, which you're aware of.

Also sometimes the weld holding the arm to the ring loosens so you could be spinning but not moving.

At 8.99 consider them disposible, but you should probably put your cash towards someting better.

no don't post the sid mottram.........i have been watching that!!

Haven't we all - I nearly BIN for £199; except had I done so I'd have had to sell something as Mrs S thinks 5 bikes is too much as it is...

Just to add a little edge, and so you are all aware, this is almost certainly a Mercian frame (unless its one of their older ones in which case it's a Holdsworth)...

:D

doubt very much its a holdsworth!!!

As I said, Mottram's frames were in the main built by Mercian....

will leave you guys to it, there is another litte treat in the viewing window, might do the buy it now on that one!

I bought a set of these, they are worth what you pay for them, not very much. They're not round and usually pretty scuffed up. Fine for polo I suppose.

Get with the program, Dale.

Four fuckin days ago....

Very nice, but too big for me:
