Addiction LXXX

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

nothing beats a C-Record crankset.

Those are probably perfectly functional cranks, but those are hideous.

The latter, yes. Those were the high-end when I started all this.

A couple Campy carbon cranks and some Ultegra cranks, too. And a SRAM Red also some FSA crapola. ...and a heavy low-end fixie crank.

I'm crank wealthy.

Ah, the picture in your post didn't load on my phone!

I can appreciate the weird aero cranksets, but they tend to look appropriate only on a high zoot track frame. IMO, naturally.

I guess I'm dirt poor, just have two FSA Gossamers and one Tiagra - all are right side only (for chainring harvesting purposes)

Oh wait, I have a fatbike crankset too, guess I need to post that for sale. It's a 1x only and just after purchasing it I found a 3x that weighed the same (sans rings)

There are currently 3 unassigned cranksets laying around the rjones28 workshop; FSA Gossamer (sans rings - those are on the Schwinn), Sram Eagle GX from the fat bike, Praxis Alba from the Crux.

Wet ride today. Guy got in a squeeze on the outside of another rider, locked up his brakes, clipped a sign post with his bars, and broke his top and down tubes near the steerer. Fortunately, he was okay. I was very happy to have discs.

1) Ouch
2) It's stuff like this that makes me roll my eyes when people argue that the ability to lock up the rim brakes means that discs don't have an advantage.
