Anyways- is this a good deal? is there something better i should look for? Is it stupid for me to be getting a bunch of new stuff when i really like the way my bike with it's cheep-ass old cranks and old school (but nice) bb allready rides? does anyone know off hand if i can replace the 46 tooth cog?
appreicating your response in advance...

Replacing a BB is easy if you have the proper tool(without the proper tool it is near impossible). Replacing the 46 "cog"(chainring) is easy but expensive. I have been pleased with IRO parts, I think the crank and ring are especially good for cheap parts.
