okay. so. i looked at my cranks, and it looks like there's a tiny little hairline crank, (but it could be a little scratch) on the outside of where the spindle connects on the left crankarm. dammit. could be a little scratch, but i showed it to my GF who isn't very bike savvy and i was like "look at this..." and she said "what, you mean that little crack?"

guess i get to spend MORE money on my bike this paycheck....crap crappity crap stink.
sugino75s, or campy pista...already have the suginos and am pretty pleased with them, but maybe i want something different....hmmmm decisions decisions...
