shipping from Australia was $73. ring was $45. that's $118 for a chainring.

i was hoping to find something in the range of $60-80 shipped, with a similar design. if i have to, i can always go with a miche or sugino 75 ring, but id love one "spiral" cut. im not getting another black ring (currently have a 130 bcd messenger ring on my 105 cranks- which im trading for this chainring).

cutting a chainring isn't rocket science. if i had access to a cnc machine, id write the program and make one myself. but i don't know someone with one, and i wouldn't have the time to design one until the summer.
