In all seriousness, I don't think you can save any meaningful weight at $100.00.
He's a good son, I'm just stubborn, lol. Ok, not gonna drop weight but what about quality, smoothness? The standard crank is not just that lovely to pedal (big improvement on my current bike with the FSA/hollotech). Because it is single speed and I'm not knowledgeable enough yet about them, I don't even know what to ask BF for in terms of a crank upgrade. I wrench on my current bike but it's an 8 speed, I've got some learning to do. I did figure out I want a chain with a master link in case it gets stuck on the dropout during a tire repair!
