OR

http://wheelworld.com/itemdetails.cf...gId=39&id=2475

the one from wheelworld is cheaper and lighter than the first link. i bet you guys will tell me to get the first link from jenson usa

what the diffence between these two? thanks for your help.

The first one is the more recent Hollowtech II design that has an integrated spindle and outboard bearings. The second one is an older LX design using the original Hollowtech design. I don't know or think that the second one has an integrated spindle and may need a bottom bracket along with the crankset. Using the same Wheel World site I see that the BB for the LX is about $37 bridging the gap between the two. http://wheelworld.com/itemdetails.cf...gId=39&id=2449

I'd opt for the first one but that's just me.

EDIT:
Here you go, the LX like the first one above but at $150.00. I think if you look in the coupon forum you can even get a Nashbar coupon from time to time.
