Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

RIP Sram Omnium

Scrodzilla Where would you place the JIS Miche Primato cranks among other square taper sets in the price margin?

I think Miche square taper cranksets are great and a very good value for the price. However, I didn't post this thread to get into a huge discussion regarding my opinion of every crankset on the market. As the say, opinions are like a**holes...

Yeah, I hear ya. Bought a Miche set from your shop a few days ago and I'm wicked excited to receive it. Just was afraid after reading this thread that I may have been better off going with the Andel deluxe. I'm sure I'll be happy with my choice. Thanks!

Another reason I’m glad I just bought Sugino. They’re great, and now I don’t have to worry about the thing I wanted being off the market.

I literally just ordered a set so we'll see if they actually have em. On Ebay they going for over 300 used so if anyone wants to turn a profit have at it.

I had to refresh my memory of what they looked like... shame. Shame. Beautiful crankset unlike what Shimano has been putting out for geared bikes.

You may note, SRAM is dropping a lot of products that are insufficiently profitable , too small a market..
