Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - black sugino 75's

anyone know where you can get them the cheapest?

I don't know where you can get them at all...someone enlighten us.

As noted on Business Cycles:

They're coming soon but I've heard of no one who has them yet. I'm sure John dacey would be one of the first.

Thats about what I figured....I like the clean look of the sliver ones anyways.

Did I see 'em at T-star?

Yeah, Track Star has at least 1 set of them.

I saw gold ones at trackstar.

oops..i thought i had seen someone with them on there bike somewhere online so i figured they were out already. i saw business has them coming soon but i figured someone else had them.

Make your own, anodized that is. You might have spotted mine in the Photo sticky.

or buya 2006 Felt TK2 and take em off.

Trackstar has a set, supposedly the only ones in the us right now. Not gonna be cheap though.

Hey-

What do you use to get such nice black? Anodizing at home, or do you have a pro setup?

No, I had a company do it... I read the DIY articles but didn't want to screw up the crank. The place I use had a $35 minimum charge... crank, chain ring and hub bodies.

Nothing good comes cheap... except a bit of torture.

uh.. i didn't really mention the cost but... uh...

did anyone else feel a draft?

dunno the cost but can't be any cheaper than the regular ones. which means around 230-250+ depending on who you go to.

EDIT: why not just call trackstar and find out.

Yeah, I posted a few lackluster photos in the fg/ss photo thread... I finished it in Sept and haven't had time to take a decent photo or two of it. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll get around to putting th grips on the track drops and take advantage of a cold December day for some better photos.

Just ordered a pair of the black ones with a 52t Zen chainring...sweet :D

I ordered mine yesterday, along with some other things. I was a little disappointed that they didnt have the black 75 chainring though, i guess ill have to throw a silver one on there.

you can get the FSA chainring and John from business cycles has black ones for the 75's though they are not sugino.

For torque wrench I usually go to Freewheel.
Their membership deal is awesome!

i know, but it means i have to drive down there with my frame to wrench on it. Or can you take the tool home?

Strap it to your back like the rest of us!

just go to your LBS... most of the time they'll let you use tools

blackspire makes a pretty awesome black chain ring it's 3/32 but I ride one and it looks awesome and I've had zero mechanical problems

I'm pretty sure they make 1/8" as well.

Gebhardt chainrings are awesome as well.

But that Zen is probably much stiffer than any of those other chainrings mentioned. Funcionality vs. color coding....

This chainring is surprisingly light too, compared to my FSA,with fewer teeth

Doesn't the Zen have milled sections on the underside of the chainring which remove a ton of the weight?

If it's really that important, it would probably be very inexpensive to have the zen anodized.

i have one, you're welcome to it.

As far as getting it annodized, thats not my concern, my "theme" if you will, is black, silver, white.

My new ride is a handbuilt aluminum TT track bike from poland by Gromada, a frame builder in poland. I got a sweet price with shipping $300. I will post pics once it is done.

Also, i would love to borrow your torque wrench. I preffer working on my bikes in the comfort of my own home, beer, music, etc...
