FSA Gimondi cranks
Anyone see these in person? Comment on their quality?
Per FSA, 149mm when used with a 103mm JIS BB. Not sure of the chainline you get with a 103 BB. The latest version comes with the shield, rather than the signature. Yes, I know they are a copy of a Campy, but they are 130mm BCD, come with warranty, and are under $100 with a 42t chainring.

Of all the Campy copies that have recently surfaced, I like FSA's version the least.

Yes, I agree that the IRQ is more pleasing, but the bling costs another $100 since I want a 42t chainring. I want something for my 1971 Schwinn Super Sport conversion to fixed without killing my budget and $80 seemed to be a good comprimise for my first fixed.

If you want the 42t ring, that's a good deal then.

Looks pretty damn ugly. Id look for a used crankset somewhere. I bet you could find one with a 43t ring. I might even have one or 3 laying around for $80 or less...

I have a 42T 144BCD lying around.
but, I may have to get those IRD Defiaints, instead of my worshipped OMNOMNOMS...they're just turning me on.

True. And as nice as the IRDs are, they won't look right on what I think you plan on building.
