Is that the only way to get a new crankset on?
My question is what crankset to buy that will work with the A08, im converting it to a fixed at the moment. What are the parts that I would need and how much would it run me?
Would it be a better idea to use the crankset from my wrecked Bianchi San Jose? I know its a much newer crank, how would I go about getting it on the Peugeot? New Bottom Bracket?
Hopefully this makes a little sense, and I hope someone can help soon!
Thanks!
