I'm looking to find a relatively cheap way of getting my new frame on the road and I got stuck finding a decent crankset without spending a bit of money.

However after a bit of searching I found you can pick up brand new campag mirage cranks on ebay for £10 and I've found a couple of options for a compatable chainring.

The first is from parker international who do miche 47-52t all for £30. The other option is a stronglight dural which you can pick up on ebay for £15.

Somewhere between £25 and £40 seem like pretty good value for a brand new crankset.

Is this a good idea or not, anyone got any advice?

I bought one of those Pake ones off ebay which seems to do the job well enough. Look pretty decent as well. I think that was around £40 but I'm not sure.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
