Looking into building up a 51cm Leader 721 and after searching the forums for cranksets, I think I'm going to pick up the SRAM S-300's. Good match for the 721? It will be a 48t and likely to be paired up w a 17 or 18t cog... also, 170 cranks okay?

Also, what do you think of the nashbar carbon fork?
Welcome!

S-300s are an awesome choice and you won't have any trouble with 170s. - even on a smaller 721 frame, there will be no toe overlap. If you're short or have short legs they may be a little overkill though. 48/17 or 18 are really nice mid-range ratios.

I don't have any first-hand experience with the Nashbar fork. maybe someone who has one can chime in.
