Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Where To Find A 172.5 Ultegra Octilink Crank?

Does anyone know of an online shop selling 172.5 Ultegra Octilink cranks? A local racer needs one and there are none to be found locally or in Belgium, so we're moving to search to US online shops.

I've searched Nashbar, Performance, Chuck's Bikes, eDiscount Bike, Price Point, Jensen, and a few others but have come up empty handed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I can't beleive there's not at least 10 of them on ebay at any given time. You would have to check with seller about shipping to your area.

PayPal doesn't seem to want my business as I'm in Latvia.

Thanks, but I think they're a bit expensive there at $160, but I'll let the guy know.



If anyone else knows where to get them please let me know! Thanks.

US and Canada shipping on that. You might be able to convince them to ship overseas though.

PM me if you really can't find one. I think we have a couple in a parts bin here although they may be 175's.
