Wanted: Black track chainset

Posted on
  • I'm in the middle of buying some bits for my current project and I'm trying to find a decent chainset in black to match my other components. I keep missing out by minutes on the sets that are available on here!

    If anyone has a set to offer please let me know by PM and let me know how much you want for them. I know how much I want to spend but if a great deal comes up for a pair of black Sugino 75s then I may be willing to spend a bit more!

    Preferably chainring would be included (44 to 48 teeth - I'm not fussy) but it's not a deal breaker. Sugino (Messenger or 75), Miche Primato or something of similar quality would be ideal.

    If you have a very good price set in another colour then I would like to hear from you too as I'm also considering getting the cranks painted by Armourtex with my frame soon. Is that a good idea?

    If nothing comes along I'll probably bite the bullet on the Stronglights on Planet X.

  • I'm going for the on-one ominium copies and then taking them to Armourtex.
    Should come in around £85-90 for the lot...

  • Yeah I think they charge £10 for cranks (as long as you are using the same colour as frame or other parts adding up to the base price). I just wasn't too sure how long the paint will last on them, I've heard good things though.

    I bought some of these cranks for a project that will hopefully be done next week, looking forward to trying it out. £50 seemed like a pretty good deal from rutland cycling as other places sell them for £70ish

  • I've seen them, but after seeing what happened to my wife's SA chainring I wouldn't trust them on a single speed let alone a fixed gear. I know they are probably a higher spec than the ones on her Pashley but they are not for me.

  • Dang that's not good. I replaced the chainring when I bought it, so I just hope the cranks are decent!

  • Yeah it was really just the chainring that failed one morning. She had just left the house and then she came back two minutes later with the chainring looking like this:
