Those Lasco things are awful. Come as standard kit on practically every 200-dollar 'Fixeh' in Wal-Mart. I'm guessing they're actually worth about a tenner.
You're better off scouring eBay for a decent road double. I got my SRAM Rival compact for £45 on eBay, it had probably been used for about a year. Even came with the original GXP BB.
Perhaps look for a decent 105/Apex/Rival/Mirage/Veloce chainset?
