Hi,
just bought these off ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=120318706455

they where cheap, the bloke did not seem to know what exactly was selling (as I did not really know what I bid on...) and I was even a bit drunk. ;)

By the (crappy) pictures it seems anyway a single chainring crank...
I guess the seller wrote Miche 165 cos it's stamped somewhere (and not out of hipster histeria..) but from the measures he gives (seems 7.1-7.2mm taper to chainring bolt) it should be a 122 bcd.. and I couldn't find any Miche 122 bcd...

anybody has the knowledge to tell me what they could be?

worst case I'll HTFU and find out when I'll receive the parcel...

Thats your idea of cheap?

Anyway, that not how you measure BCD, its bolt to bolt, the taper plays no part, so those measurement give you nothing really.

Wait until you get them, then measure the BCD properly. If they are 135 they are probably miche, anything else, probably not.

I was watching these cranks, thought they might go cheaply (ie half what you paid) because of the poor listing.
Description was just too sketchy for me to bid tho. Fingers crossed you aint been ripped off.

eBay is a dangerous tool in some hands. Like children with revolvers.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
