well the old crank needs a lot of cleaning and polishing, and new chain ring bolts because they are super rusted. the BB is probably toast as well. if i can get a newer, shiny crank that would match, thats what i'd rather do. like i said, i am going to ditch the triple. so disregard all the triple crank questions.

i've looked at recent prices, and other online prices and i believe as long as it's close to what i've seen i can afford it. i'll set a max and if it goes higher, so be it. ( i know i wont get them at the prices they are at.)
