I want to replace my cranks and was looking at the black sugino 75 however, I've
just discovered the one that Paul comp. has come out with. Pretty darn sexy and I've been very pleased with the Paul hubs and brakes on my other bike. Does anyone have these yet?

jonb has them on his Pista Concept



evanyc has them on his Circle A

oh ****! they're available to order now!? that's sweeeeet.

wtf! there is no silver chainring!? why on earth would they not have silver chainrings?

they look even better on a bike. are they pretty light ? most of paul's stuff is i guess.

nah, they are heavy as ****.

Wow, that pricepoint is nice for those cranks, and they look even better in person.

yeah, cheaper than the 75s with a chainring....hmmm

Almost...you can get 75's for cheaper here:

But them pauls are nice

The BCD doesn't freak anyone else out?

It doesn't so much freak me out as it makes me not want to buy those cranks.

nice price on the polished, but the the black ones i've seen have been about 185 without the chainring

no deals on the black that I know of...

well there isn't a BCD per se.
the proprietary chainrings (3 sizes only!) and the weird 44mm chainline turn me off.

that and they're ugly.

the chainline isn't a problem if you're running paul hubs. i have a perfect chainline.

I want to know what the four circles mountain chainring looks like. I'm not a fan of the road chainring.

four circles look like the road chainring without the card suits. if you look at the pic of my bike, see the four circles that the suits are in? just imagine that without the stuff inside them.

Hey Evan, how do you like your Circle A frame? Did you have a good experience buying from them and all that? Are they pretty open to ideas? I've been curious about them but haven't seen much talk of them yet.

Thanks.

i love my circle a. chris is a super nice guy and really easy to work with. he's definitely open to ideas and im sure will do anything you want that's within his power.

Thanks for the info. Any other photos of your bike out there?

if you check a few pages back in the pic thread. oh, or go here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/18789118@N00/

Evan, i fyou don't mind my asking, how much did you end up spending on the Circle A? I just sent Chris an email asking him for all the info on ordering, I really like his stuff.

ummmm, the frame and for was $1175 i think. i upgraded the tubing to true temper platinum ox. with the standard tubing a fully lugged frame is $1100.

i dunno that these cranks are really that heavy evan. I weighed them on a gram scale against some black 75s with a 75 48t chainring, no chain ring bolts against the entire paul setup and the pauls were liek 60 grams less.
