What is lighter than a Sugino RD crankset?
I am thinking of changing my crankset. I am thinking of a truvativ Omnium track crank (I like hollow cranksets), but they are hard to get in black. Otherwise Sugino 75 or even dura-ace (if that photo of the black one means we can easily get black ones)
Anyway, what kind of weight difference will I see for these cranks (of course factor in the BB).
I have been looking and it is hard to find the numbers for comparison!
Or should I just order a Motobecane Track Team frameset as it will be way lighter than my steel Masi Speciale LTD frame????

kinda, more about style though, I am sure the weight difference can't be much.

a truvativ omnium crankset probably won't save you much weight. mine + bottom bracket weighs in at 950g. a sugino messenger crankset + bottom bracket is pretty much the same depending on what BB you have.
