Yes I can. The chainring looks to be the original fyxation chainring (I bought this off someone else who had fitted these bontrager arms)
One moment I'll snap a picture.

I just reattached it the way it originally came, I probably should have assumed it wasn't right. The arms are off a mountain bike or geared road bike I would think.

That crankarm spider has a shoulder on both the inside and outside, so the chainring can be mounted on either side, depending on which side gives the best chainline.

It looks as if it could be installed on either, but I definitely see what you mean. I figured the person who sold it to me had installed it this way for the chain alignment.. Which I think looks good where this is set..
All in all, this is just another reason that I think buying a better crank/crankset is in order.

As far as Cranksets go... I've read that Andel's are pretty good bang for the buck. I'd like to go with something 46t and 165mm. These bontragers are 175mm which I don't really like but they feel much sturdier while pedaling than the stock fyxations this came with (which are 165mm).
Any suggestions on a good crankset for like $100 or less? Or is it worth just spending a bit more to get something like an Sram 300 or Sugino RD2/Sugino Messenger?

Ohh, nice. Cheaper than I saw them at Ben's. I believe the bottom bracket is a 107mm on my bike currently so does this mean I'd need pickup the 110 BB for the Andel?
Outside of the crank and potentially the bottom bracket.. I would need a crank extractor and a bottom bracket tool correct?
