....these forums always seem to be havens for elitist pricks that know nothing of the person they are talking down to. cool.
Buy what you want but unless you are incredibly strong and have a super stiff bike you are just buying bling not performance. If bling is how you want to spend your moeny don't get defensive just admit it and move on. If you thought this was going to be a performance upgrade do some research on the cranksets as well as other upgrades and consider where your money is best spent(clipless pedals? better shoes? upgrade to OS bars and stem? etc)
