Sugino 75

I found someone selling a new Sugino 75 chainset for £170.

That's the picture he's posted on his ad. I was wondering about 2 things.
First of all, has anyone bought a new set before? Could you confirm that these are Sugino 75 from it's packaging etc? The box seemed a bit 'cheap' for an expensive crankset like this, but I wouldn't really know. Secondly, assuming all is well, is £170 a good price to pay? I'm trying to build a fixie and have a Shimano BB.

Any info would be much appreciated!

That doesn't answer my initial question. If you don't have any useful input then don't bother posting please. Thanks.

dont worry troll, the mergeatron is coming for you soon

What did I just say?

the link above, in post 2, can't be any more useful

Not quite with you there, but again it doesn't seem to be anything of relevance to what I'm asking.

putting a £170 chainset on a 10 bob bb??

I think it's a fantastic deal and you should really buy it.

There, happy with the useful advise ?

Also the yen is rising you should be able to make a tidy profit when they are 2-3 years old

People need to grow up.

My first build so yeah I have a crappy BB, but hopefully down the line I'll upgrade and use the better chainset with it. That's the plan anyway.

good plan.
One of these: Wiggle | 3T Dorico Ltd Carbon Seat Post Seat Posts is also what your bike really needs before upgrading the BB

though watch out for the packaging. 3T's bubblewrap has been know to fail catastrophically at times

How sad.

You are being a bit of an arse, actually, Punkture.

meh, either he is trolling or has no ability to use a search bar. either one means he should be open to gentle admonishment

You're the only one trolling here guy. Also, if you can somehow show me that these cranks are genuine and not some fakes just by using this almighty search bar of yours please show me.

Dunno if the packaging is different in the second one because it comes with BB as well?
both boxes look the same though.

I must be really thick

New from Dolan £158

Used off Gumtree £170

and you appear unwilling or unable to research this. What have I missed ? you want a chainring too ?

It's not used and it comes with the chainring, as shown in the photo. Doesn't matter any longer. Thanks for those who actually tried to help.

Don't expect to use your Shimano BB if you buy them. Yours is JIS, you'd need ISO.
But that first link could easily have told you that.

2 actual reasons why the seller might be fibbing:

1) that is not the box my cranks came in, mine looked much more up market.
2) they don't say Sugino 75 on them...they are most likely the messenger cranks, look the same just much less good. But then again the logo on ye messenger is near the top, not the bottom...

hello,
