Cheapskate alert.

Hey suckas,

quick quesh..

I am replacing some worn components on my Pops bike and thought I would get a new, cheap crank to replace his old cheap crank. The one he has, has got bent rings and a 20 year old creaky BB.

On Nashbar, I saw an FSA Alpha Drive triple and Nashbar Triple crank; both less then $40 bucks. The price is right for both of them but not familiar with them or the isis drive. Anyone have a preference as to which is better? Thanks.
