hi, im looking for any suggestions for a good crankset for a fixie that im building, and ideally it would be something cheap that would still work well.

OUTMAR is usually worth .10 off, it was last month anyway.

EighthInch is most likely the best bang for your buck.

For real, man. I'll never spend a penny on an Origin 8-branded product ever again.

If you're looking at All-Citys you may as well get a set of unbranded Andels and nix the gigantic logo on the crank arms.

I've got this and it's been pretty rad so far. And it's shiny.

Origin 8 makes complete garbage. My friend received one of them stem with an ovalized clamp. I would not trust a company that makes products with a 5mm error tolerance.

I'm beginning to see this more and more, but I have a Propulsion handle bar and it is pretty good

Until the OP chimes back in with how much money he/she actually wants to spend, we can all keep rattling off cranksets until our fingers bleed and get absolutely nowhere.
