Sorry europa. I didn't mean it as a complaint about you but about the mods moving another thread for reasons unknown except that the word 'bent' was buried in the text. I wasn't real clear on what you were proposing, and tigrrrtamer must not have been either or he wouldn't have recommended a compact for a 'bent.

My Thorn set cost 75 pounds, which at the time was at least 50% more than a 105 set would have cost. And chainrings were extra. I'm wracking my brain trying to remember what cranks Brian Harnett used on his homebuilts a few years back at one of the BROL rallies. I think they were Bullet brand. At the time, he said the advantage was they were cheap.
