165mm Cranks- European online source?

Does anyone know of a European online shop that carries 165mm cranks? I'm looking for something along the lines of Sugino, I don't need Campy or DA. Thanks.

that's a tough one ...maybe try the guys at keirin berlin in
germany. it isn't listed on their site, but maybe they can get
some.

why can't you order from american online stores? i do it all
the time. sometimes they are nice enough not to put the
full value of the contents to get around customs charges.

There's quite a few in the UK. I think hubjub has stronglight track cranks (with the 130 bcd) and someone (maybe deeside cycles) have sugino 75s. If they don't hit the spot then condor cycles have sugino 75s and Miche and others, however you might have to phone them cos the website is a bit crap.

On-one.co.uk has a strange and varied supply of parts. They might have track cranks too.

look, i lived and cycled in europe for 4 years. there is nothing special there that we can't get here, other than a few insignificant brands on the low-end, which are all chinese, tiawanese, and japanese just like the stuff we get here. on the high-end, it is all the same, except even more expensive. if you want a sexy italian handmade, you can get it here in the u.s. just as easily. like i said, nothing special.

for a good set of track cranks, try aebike.com or try https://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/fixed.html#cranks
